Beds old and uncomfortable. When booking for three you should be told that one bed is a sofabed before booking and paying. Also before booking, should be told treat car park is on a first come first serve basis and also it’s going to cost $30.00 if you get a hotel car park. The site only says car park available. I think I have been wrongly charged.

The rooms were so small that you couldn’t open your suitcase. The bathroom was slightly larger than an airplane bathroom. It was a 2story room and the stairs were dangerous. The bottom floor was freezing. We had no washcloths the first night. The parking was narrow and hard to get into. The beds felt like trampolines. The pillows were lumpy. The tv downstairs did not work. The neighborhood was sketchy but close to the CBD.
