The location of the Property, to the light rail give access to the city, central to the major suburbs. The parking for our stay was easy, however, staff did indicate it could be full at times. The room was clean with a nice shower. Staff were more than helpful.

The staff were rude and unhelpful and it should be stated when you book a room that you will be charged for parking your vehicle
