    A terrific, affordable, an convenient stay for anyone attending events on campus.

    Only one major complaint, the advertised Lounge Bar seems to have been closed and, talking to staff, has been for some time. Indeed, the room where it seems to have been was shut for the duration of my stay. The bar is mentioned in the advertising, so it was disappointing to find it closed. Not a huge deal, but I was looking for a close, quiet place to unwind after the day. The advertising should probably be updated. Small quibbles: No microwave in the room. There wasn't one advertised, so that's mostly on me for not checking. Had some delicious local food that I would have loved for leftovers! The menu provided with the in-room guide for room service did not include a wine & spirits list, and the one that appears on the website seems to be out-of-date. Just walked over to the restaurant itself to check the menu and snapped a photo, but the online / in-room menus should probably be updated.

    Staff were terrific, helping me get into a room several hours before check-in when my flight was much earlier than expected. Incredibly convenient location for events at the university, an ~7 minute walking distance to the university center. A short ~15 minute walk to the local shopping center and adjacent metro made getting supplies, and elsewhere in the city incredibly easy. The room had a terrific view of the adjacent green & lake. The room was clean and well-furnished, and housekeeping did a terrific job when requested. The dine-in Lachlan's restaurant offered some terrific varieties and excellent food. Having a smart TV in the room is an underrated benefit, that I don't see many mentioning. The air-conditioning unit in the room was plenty strong, if a little noisy, but no more so than any hotel, to be frank. If you've got business at the University, this is a good stay for the money.

    Parking was a problem as we had to park quite a distance from our room. This would have been disastrous had it been raining. There is no place to park for check in and this needs to be rectified.

    Bed was extremely comfortable and proximity to the motorway made travel quite easy. The outlook from the room was surprising with plenty of vegetation and bird life. The restaurant was ideal for breakfast.

    It was very difficult to find and not well signposted. Coming in from the carpark you have to walk quite a distance and through some empty buildings as it is attached to and part of the Macquarie university campus. There is no free to air TV, if you don't have access to streaming services and the bathroom is quite small.

    The room was very comfortable. The bed was superb and inside it felt like a luxury stay on a budget price. it was very clean and quiet.

    The checking of the bar was disappointing. There was an bottle of wine that had been partially consumed still in the fridge. I did take it to reception and they made a note. Post checkout, I had an additionally charge against my CC. I sent a message through Booking requesting an explanation for the charge, which I’m yet to receive. Really poor considering their association witH MGSM.

    It’s well located, clean and in good condition.

    Ask about $50 deposit required at checkin, when it will be released back to you. - Multiple phone calls and emails with no response - 7 days after check out, told they needed to manually release from machine and could be another 7 days. -After 17 days I was told I had to contact my bank. (They did apologise for not following up emails and messages)

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic location, fantastic room. Awesome over looking the lake. Walking distance to Shopping centre and multiple food choice. Close to public transport and University which also has many food options and facilities. Family have stayed here multiple times. Restaurant onsite and room service, vending machines available close by.
