Really like the cleanliness of the room, it felt really fresh and sharp. Bathroom was in good condition and the washing machine and drier were perfect for us during our travels. Had a small power box that packed a big punch, with 4 USB ports and 3single phase power points. The bed was so comfortable, definitely a good sleep which I appreciated. The small kitchen area was spotless and had everything I needed.

For a CBD location, this studio is quiet (has sound proofing) and spacious. Parking is just across the road and parks were reserved for us when there was a big game on at the stadium. It has nice extras like the Botanicals shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, nespresso and lollies in reception. It is nicely furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.

Eric’s stay

We had an enjoyable 1 night stay. We arrived a bit late but the staff at the front desk were very helpful. When we arrived we were welcomed and given lots of information about the area and parking. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Easy walk to get groceries after we arrived. The only issue we had was the parking as no on-site parking was available and we had to use street parking which was fine overnight but only 2 hours paid parking after 8am. A bit of a hassle.

A very lovely hotel. Very clean, attentive staff, great kitchenette, bathroom and comfy bed. I would come back to this hotel in a heart beat. It’s also very near the ferry port so not too much driving in town to get to the hotel. Again…. It is very comfortable, clean, efficient and near to everything. Thanks to them for providing such nice accommodations in a busy town.
