We liked the proximity from the hotel to our son’s place nearby. We also like the Asian cuisine and grocery shopping in the Footscray areas which you can either walk or drive from the hotel. The parking area at the back of the hotel is rather convenient but can be a little tricky in the evening. Obviously the hotel restaurant is quite popular with locals so we found that out on Saturday night. We had to park on the street and wait until after 9 p.m. for the spot in the hotel car park. If you are a light sleeper like myself you might hear the sound of the traffic on the roads faintly. Overall it was a pleasant stay for us.

Nothing to like. I have been in hotels in over 30 countries but this is the only one where the toilet bowl leaked onto the floor when flushed. Horrible.

HI Germana, So sorry for your bad experience with us, We have a free Wifi code in the book next to the TV and other information. We did notice that the air conditioning sound from the Restaurant is a bit noisy; however, we are required someone to upgrade our system. Hopefully it will be fixed soon as possible. We apologize and hope you give us chance to show you our improvement in the future. Best regards
