Whilst clean and modern, it felt like student accommodation rather than a hotel.

The property is close to everything, however it was noisy, the air con was malfunctioning, the tv remote didn’t work, 1 bed lamp didn’t work and the ceiling lights were not all operational. 1 swipe card didn’t work which meant my daughter was locked out.

This property is in a great location for a quick trip to the City. Easy access to CBD, shopping and pubs etc to eat at. Transport options very easy as tram stop out the front. Also parking onsite is very good option.
