Handy location CBD. But so many cones, hard to get to front door let alone parking a vehicle.

The property was great for my one night stay. Decor was getting tired but for the price was value. Room, bath, & kitchen was clean. The bed was comfortable, the air con and TV all working. There was construction in progress across the road (Feb 24), but I was on the 9th floor so not an issue. Busy area and close to food options and Countdown. The staff were very friendly and helpful and had they not helped arranging a taxi (35 mins to Airport, approx $95) when my booked shuttle didn't turn up I would have missed my flight.

Hi Julie,We are sorry to hear this, unfortunately you was checking out on a Saturday and this is a very busy day for us with many guests arriving and requesting check in as soon as possible, this meant we could not fulfil your request for a late check out. However we understand we did offer free luggage storage as an alternative.
