I was unsure what to expect after reading mixed reviews. Sure the room decor was a bit "tired" but I understand that renovations are being carried out. It was acceptably clean but not spotless. However 10/10 in all the important things. It had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on, plenty of hot water and great water pressure. Viaduct, supermarkets and great range of eateries all within a few minutes walk. Same goes for buses. Every staff member I met was friendly, courteous and obliging. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Went to a concert at spark arena and this place was only a 15min walk away. Gym and pool were good. Room basic but good enough considering how cheap it was.

A convenient hotel close to the waterfront in the CBD. A comfortable but older room. The bathroom is adequate and clean but needs modernising.

Clean, great location, fabulous lap pool and hot tub, and fitness room. Layout of lights and outlets and closet shelves not well thought out, but everything else made up for that inconvenience.
