Convenient location. Service can be friendly or hands off. Property layout means you can be far way from elevators. Décor in hallway is dated but inferior is nice, comfortable, less dated and clean.
Though we did see one cockroach in the morning the room did not feel dirty.
Parking is a no-cover parking on property, spaces limited.
Small rectangle pool with minimal heating is in the residential building next door, not easy to access.

Told no room upgrade to find our room had no sleep for 3rd person or room for extra bed. Told they could upgrade us! Also told us not to use Expedia as misleading when booking for 3 people the room does not in fact have enough room for 3 people!!

Good location, a short walk from Braddon's shops and bars.
The room is comfortableand well equipped but the cleaning is not to a high standard, there were long hairs around the sink and grubby marks on the toilet wall. Parking is a bit limited. The rooms do not include free bottled water but you can purchase downstairs. The free hotel Wifi is useless, very week signal and very slow - very frustrating for a business traveller. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
