    The hotel is obviously undergoing some renovations, as when I got there I drove straight past, as it looked derelict. The sign for the hotel wasn't even working, and there was a lot of junk and plastic sheets at the front. It wasn't an issue for the stay but was very confusing at face value. I honestly thought it had been closed down. Also sleeping was a little cold as bedding consisted of a thin blanket with a sheet. Though there was reverse air con.

    The room was spacious and comfortable. The location was pretty central and free parking was a bonus.

    I was a little surprised when I first arrived to see the demolished front of the hotel and of course wondered what I had let myself in for. While you are undergoing renovations, I think it would be good to let guests know.

    It all went well really.

    Bathrooms no screen or shower curtain so water goes everywhere need to mop up with towels to prevent slip hazard. Daily Towels and supposed cleaning must be requested on arrival or no service Construction outside Paint poor and general maintenance needs to be done No glasses in room or offer of bottled water, only 1 teaspoon supplied Still hear traffic noise despite sound proofing. Toaster outside not in a cupboard ? Cleanliness Cleaning fair but not thorough

    Location handy to public transport and hot shower

    The wet bathroom was a challenge. Everything ended up wet when we showered but the place is being renovated so possibly that will change.

    Comfortable beds and a lovely communal area to sit in just outside our door where we could eat, relax and chat with other guests.

    The carpark wasn‘t secure and although it is written that high cars also have a secure parking we first weren‘t sure whether our car was going to fit in. Also the laundry was really dirty and dusty.

    It was near the trainstation which took you to CBD in 20min.

    The fridge's freezer needs a defrost, guys! :) I confess, I don't understand why there was so many sheets on the bed, and that has me think of the cost of cleaning them all. It felt unnecessary. There was three or four sheets. The remote control seemed a little tricky. Might need a new battery. Regrettably, there's some kind of construction fencing out the front. It's an eyesore, but not a big deal in reality. I feel sorry for the premises though, as it caused me to drive past it first time. So, perhaps someone reading this might be guided by that--look for the fencing :). But, don't skip a stay here because of it because the service was terrific, and the room. It was a nice little haven.

    The service was outstanding. The reception guy was just wonderful. Cheerful, quick to arrive at the desk when you walk in, very helpful, kind, seemed caring. I also loved the old-fashioned provision of shampoo, soap, coffee, tea. I also appreciated there was a box of tissues in the room.

    Open space downstairs for cooking. Showers didn't line up with edge. No elevator for people with heavy luggage. Nothing much to complain about otherwise. It seems as though it is under renovation so possibly good things to come!

    Beds were clean, staff were helpful and kind! We had an issue with the room and the staff immediately apologised and provided us a different room. They were very apologetic about the issue, we actually didn't mind too much, can't help what's out of your control! The ensuite was a good size and the beds were pretty comfy. Place was amazingly clean and beds were crisp! Little fridge in room and jug but no other cooking facilities that were private.

    Noisy, traffic and under a flight path. Room had some renovations, but was still dingy in places. Parking access difficult due to steep entry and exit points. Our car scraped on driveway. Management wouldn't let us check in an hour early. Saw a rat run across the driveway at night.

    Well located, close to train station and 7 eleven. Loved the shower with the large showerhead. Communal sitting area was pleasant.
