The upper room
I've given it plenty of thought before writing this.
Here's the pros and cons.
Pros: the location is handy for walking to most things, the staff are courteous, the shower has good pressure and the aircond works well enough on a 33c day, the room was in a quiet spot.
Cons: While I don't mind small rooms, this one didn't even have a chair to sit and eat on, the small room and bathroom looked tired, parking's a challenge too.
The bed is very hard which some may like but I couldn't sleep much at all.
At $160 per night I was shocked when I usually stay up the road with undercover parking, huge quiet, modern room with lots to offer for the same or even less coin.
I just can't reconcile this price on what I'd expect would suit a backpacker. I only have limited time to get away each year and I left after a two night sojourn, feeling in need of a rest.
I try to support various businesses and if I had the money I would have said goodbye to my $320 and simply moved up the road to my usual place. I don't like to leave this type of review which is why I've given it a week before typing this and have omitted another negative regarding the property. I've travelled a lot and this one cannot be worth the $160 charge in my opinion.
