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.

Virginia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Got the hotel's probably worst and most depressing room. According to the staff it was newly renovated, but smelled so strongly of paint that we didn't want to stay there. When we arrived at night they couldn't change it until the next day. The staff at the reception were really friendly and we got a new room pretty quickly the next day. This was really nice and a clear improvement. Could use a renovation though
