The location is prefect, you can have everything within 10 mins walking to different direction. The hotel’s staff are wonderful and very helpful! However, the hotel needs some renovation, the room is quite dusty when I get in and lot of dust and dirt in the corridor as well. Price is pretty good and I guess the quality is matching the price.

This hotel is fine for one night. Hotel is in a convenient central location, close to Newtown for great bars and restaurants, and close to the freeway and airport. Fast food is right next door. Cleanliness is a hit and miss, yet always dusty. Check-in is a hit and miss, depends on the staff. And the condition of the room you get is also a hit and miss. The room had a hole in the ceiling of the shower. Walls are not soundproof, and the bar fridges in the room are really noisy. Beds are comfy. Parking is on site.

Disliked: Amenities
The location is good. They do need stairs as I and many others struggled with our suitcases. Housekeeping isn’t great. They hardly emptied my bins. When they knock on the door I tell them to give me a minute and then they hardly come back. My room was not cleaned at all. I had to call to get my bins emptied and for more toilet roll. My room also had no natural sunlight coming through. It was blocked by an outer building therefore the price should’ve reflected this. No bottle of water either which should be provided. The staff at reception were really lovely though one did not understand English when I asked her what to do for Christmas. She stared at me blankly. I would use this hotel again but this time I would make sure housekeeping do their job.

We were able to check in early which was a nice bonus, however a number of small issues arose (some beyond control), most weren't worth addressing each time so we didn't, but once they added up we chose to address with staff, they handled well & professionally.
