This property was wonderful…. Friendly staff who provided an easy check in process. Easy car parking process too. Close to trams, restaurants and bars. Nice breakfast/ dining/ bar area. Buffet breakfast was a little basic compared to many other hotels. 24 hour coffee service at reception. Comfortable beds and nice shower with great water pressure. Fantastic block out light blinds.

This is a very good hotel, close to the CBD, light rail and the waterfront. The rooms are very quiet and there is good on-site parking available (extra cost). It is within walking distance of the city, but there is only a few cafes, restaurants nearby. Breakfast is included in the charges, but meals and bar are available at other times.
