There was barely any utensils in the room such as a plate or knife or a decent wine glass only 2 tumblers supplied. There was only one facewasher in the bathroom for 2 people. Room was like a matchbox and you could not easily reach light switches on either side of the bed. No toothbrush or any extras supplied in the bathroom except for a showercap. Pillows were terrible. All in all for the price expected more.

An All-round Pleasure

Really enjoyed my stay here. Beds were large and comfy, bathroom was really fresh, living and lounging spaces were relaxing, and the staff were all really friendly and really helpful. The location is excellent in the CBD and near plenty of good eateries. I would happily stay here again in the future.
