The hotel is set back from the busy highway so heard no traffic noise at all. Just over a 5 minute walk to the Highett station which has great train service to the city in just over 30 minutes. Woolworths and good local shops opposite the station. 15 minute walk to the Southland mall which has all the shops you could wish for. Room was a good size, stayed 5 nights and slept well throughout.

Disappointing and expensive
Stayed at this hotel for many many years. Room so small and uncomfortable. Charged for breakfast but not provided. My long term connected this hotel seriously failed. Living in a building site. The most expensive and not value for money

World’s smallest rooms unless you were in Japan where you’d expect the rooms to be small AF. Free WiFi is only a bonus if the WiFi works. Most of the premises is undergoing renovation which is much needed. Wouldn’t recommend

The property was easy to get to. The breakfast was decent. I would have hoped that the laundry facilities did not have an open and close time. This made it difficult to wash clothes within the allowed “open” time. Preferable to make the laundry open 24 hrs.

Room was very small for 4 people to stay in. Room on my serviced every 3 days and when it was there was only half the number of towels left to guest ratio so was continually having to gather more. Beds not the most comfortable and the TVs were glitchy at best. And if you want wifi, forget streaming. Lucky to get a signal. Was also under construction in various parts of hotel but not advertised prior. Was disappointed for the week we stayed
