I had booked for a service animal intentionally as I just broke up with my boyfriend 2 days before going on a family trip that my dad payed for.... and he moved all of my stuff into storage/ so I collected my dog and by the time I got back to the "boutique hotel" there was no one as reception so they left a key in the letterbox.... then woke me up after a 10 hour flight at 9am and said I couldn't have my service animal? Completely disappointed in this hotel and I would not recommend it to ANYONE. Lots of love @jaydeturnerledwidge

Our stay at The Alison was quite good. Reception lady was very friendly & helpful. Parking was secure & very convenient. Lovely comfy bed, clean bathroom( although tiny ). Great proximity to the light rail. The only downside was that our room was at the front & traffic noise was very loud & constant. We’d stay again but request a room further back, if possible.

This property was close to public transport, within just walking distance from the tram which made it amazing to stay at. Only downfall was our room faced out to the Main Street and you could hear the cars passing by quite loudly. Didn’t bother us too much as it was just a one night stay for a concert so we were barely in the room, so it suited us well
