Cons: Only a few little things...If you're a light sleeper you will notice the noise. Local hoon traffic late at night and lots of people moving around the Hotel early in the mornings. The Hotels lift is extremely slow, use the stairs if you're able! The showers in the rooms are extremely temperamental, hot cold, hard to adjust.

Pros: The room was spacious for 1; had a queen size bed and a good bathroom. The shower was great for what I would consider a budget hotel. As I came with 1 large suitcase, the floor space wasn’t an issue although might be if travelling with more than 1 large suitcase/travelling as a couple. I used to fridge to store fruits bought at Aldi supermarket (5 min walk away). I found the photos advertised on the website/booking.com to be an accurate depiction of my room. Some of the staff were lovely and friendly however, some seemed to be a bit grumpy. The lady who checked me in ~5am on my check-in date was really nice. It was pretty clean (I only noticed 1 thing that wasn’t - a spot of sticky stuff on my bedroom floor by the mirror). The room does get serviced everyday but you can ask for them not to. The restaurant (Wokks) which you can access from the hotel was really convenient. I’ve noticed that some people have complained about the space between the bed and the wall - this wasn’t a problem for me. For reference it’s about 20cm clearance. The table size wasn’t an issue either. Floor length mirror and light switch by the bed were big pluses!

7.5 Good
Pros:
Cons: On the second night I asked for my room to be cleaned and just replenished with fresh towels ect... as I got up quite late, so wasn’t sure if they were coming around again. I wasn’t impressed with the clean it was done rushed and messy especially compared to the first night. The cups weren’t replaced with clean ones and it was obvious they had just quickly rinsed them under the sink, the tea was also not replenished. The towels were placed in a messy way and it just didn’t have the feeling of care like it normally would.

Cons: There isn’t any bottled water in the room so if you want to buy some, you can buy from the reception for $3.50/500 ml or cheaply from a supermarket. The heating/air con was a bit confusing to use. In the end I just left it to do what it wanted to. The plugs are too close together to use both at the same time with travel Adaptors. Not a deal breaker though because there were 3 double wall sockets around the room (2 in bedroom and 1 in bathroom).
5.4 Okay
Pros: Staff. Good pressure on the shower
Cons: Stayed on two separate occasions. I’m one room the aircon stopped working. Both rooms were very dirty, all covered in dust. Pillows were poor
6.8 Good
Pros: Cleanliness and location.
Cons: Glass bathroom door which made horrible clunking sound (bad privacy). Only given one swipe card for two people. shower took ages to get hot. Need double glazed windows as traffic was easily audible. All minor things.

Pros: The facilities were really good but the location was excellent.
Cons: All it needed was a freshening up, everything else was fine. However, we could not understand the colourbond fence outside each apartment. Obviously too small as a security fence or a noise barrier, it really detracted from the look of the apartment. However, it would not be a deterrent against staying here again.

7.0 Good
Pros: Big bed rooms and comfortable beds; a sizeable lounge area; kitchen was very well equipped for cooking and it had stove and oven and even a dishwasher; laundry with washer; rooms were very quiet at night; it's a great location
Cons: After asking the hotel for check in between 2:00 and 3:00 and they responded 'okay' we drove all the way from Adelaide and once we arrived (2:15) we saw a note which said reception would not open until 3:00! After such a long drive and with 3 kids and needing toilets - not that impressed. Could have been a bit cleaner
6.3 Good
Pros: Great location
Cons: A bit run down .... hard bed
5.5 Okay
Pros: The convenience of being close to a vibrant area.
Cons: Very tired and a little grubby. 2 lights need repairs and carpet grubby and damaged in 1 area. Good hot water though. Overall not a patch on the previous standard when last visited. A disappointing stay.
