The property was in a convenient location, close to Gio Stadium, which is where we wanted to go. There was also a tram on the corner for travel into the city. The receptionist was lovely but the communication about parking was not issued clearly. Even though there was signage in the lift, this used jargon that was not clearly understandable. If car park was full we were told to park in the street for free. Driving around in the cold & dark trying to find parking was horrible. We could see lots of No Parking signs so therefore didn't park there. Upon reading signs in the daylight we could see that we could have parked there overnight & weekends. This should have been communicated to us. We were asked if we would like our room serviced the next morning to which i said yes. When returning from our day out we found fresh towels but used towels left behind, an unmade bed, our trash bag emptied but left sitting on the counter and our used glasses just put on the tea & coffee tray. Very disappointed with this service!

We stayed here because the Expedia information said EV charging was available. Charging has been broken for months which was a disappointment. Also there were damaged curtains which was a bit of a put off. On the positive side very friendly staff and bed was great. Hotel is very convenient for tram to city

Price was good but EV charger was a key reason we stayed there and it wasn’t working. Should not be listed as a feature unless functional. Room has damaged plaster and stains on the curtains. Was ok, nothing brilliant but the price was right.

Only space for clothes is a couple of hangers, NO draw space. Double bed is two singles pushed together with just a sheet covering them. You may as well just have two singles because you can't sleep in the middle of the bed. Huge whole in curtain. I had no housekeeping, but to do dishes, no drain plug and no tea towel to dry with. Very Poor. Won't be staying here again.

The receptionist rushed through information at check-on so fast I could hardly understand her. The breakfast was not worth $ 23 - one particular problem was that there was only one toaster and it took a long time just to half heat - not properly toast - the bread.

Close to cbd, helpful staff. Parking is seperate to the building so unpacking and packing car you had to bring car to the hotel front which wasn’t far. Hotel room - TV was not programmed in and couldn’t use it; mini fridge in room, the door had been left ajar freezer was frozen over and fridge door was unable to be closed so could not use mini fridge to keep anything cool.

A private feel in that you do not pass reception on entry and exit. Does not have its own carpark. Parking is awkward and problematic. Moving a car after 2 hours gives a homelessness feel. Making here possibly suitable for the carless, short stay, business person only.

Disliked: Amenities
It was convenient for what i needed. However, apart from that I wasn't thrilled. My sheets had holes in them, there was no utensils at all, only a icy pole stick for the coffee. I had to buy cutlery at the supermarket. The carpet was stained and there was hair in the drain. Overall, I probably wouldn't stay again.
