Very nice room overlooking the city. Very flash, clean and quiet. Great value for the price paid. Was allowed to check in slightly early which enabled us to get changed for a wedding. Under cover carpark (recommend pre book). Getting here was a bit of a pain having to take citylink. Tram stops a bit to far away. Overall a great place to stay and will likely be back in the future.

Within walking distance to Southbank and Crown which is why I picked it, I don't think you should pay extra for parking, the room rate is high enough

Room smelt like rotten eggs. We were lucky to be mpved to a different room. But the second rooms Bathroom fan didnt work. Shower head wasnt fitted and kept falling out during a shower. And the walls have many scuff marks. Hardly any working TV shows.
