We really enjoyed our stay and staff made excellent recommendations for dinner and places to see. The bar offers fresh juice of local fruits in the lobby for all hours. Nice for Uber access and near the trolley pick up spot and Regent street which offers many food choices.

Room wasn’t what I expected in that is was small and smelly. It’s not bad just not a normal 4-5 star experience and I thought Fable was this.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Property was clean, bed was comfortable, facilities provided was adequate. Water pressure for the shower was inadequate and trickling water. Not enough information given during check in, wifi etc, most hotels would share these basic information while checking in. Bonus was there was a coffee machine in the room with nepresso capsules. Parking was available however at an extra cost of $35, if not you had to park at the public carpark for $23 for overnight parking till 11am, definitely not $20 for a whole day like mentioned on the website. Car park was on a dirt road and did not have security cameras so had to walk to one further away with cameras and lights. Lots of food options nearby within walking distance which was good.
