The room was convenient and had everything you need in a small space. Parking station next door over priced and very narrow to drive and reverse the car. There needed to be another entry to the car park other than the car entry. Finding the reception area on the 2nd floor was a bit odd and we struggled a bit with our luggage but overall it was a good clean and convenient place to stay overnight.

Enjoyed the accommodation but found the service when booking in was rude and abrupt, I did not feel welcomed. Basically everything was just too hard what how I felt when checking in. Information listed on the website about parking was incorrect and caused issues for journey as well as information about getting taxi at 4am etc again we were given incorrect information with not a lot of options at 4am in the morning to get to an international flight.

Breakfast was great, staff were friendly and helpful and even gave my daughter a birthday gift on arrival. Location is perfect for cbd and the sky tower. I didn’t like the bathroom/shower but that is personal preference and the parking is extremely expensive offsite at $59 for the hours of 2pm-10am.
