Rooms are badly in need of maintenance. When I arrived, I was charged a $500 deposit (despite ambiguous and conflicting amounts showing on their website). During the night of my stay, the toilet blocked and flooded and despite cleaning up as best I could, raw sewage was spread around. Imagine my surprise when I was told the blockage was my fault and they wouldn't refund the $500. I checked the reviews only to find others have suffered the same or similar. The staff are rude, unhelpful and probably in on the scam. Absolutely despicable. Read all the reviews before you stay here. Very grateful to my bank who have given them a charge back after confirming others have had similar experiences.

We stayed 2 nights to celebrate my birthday. Arrived in the evening and the staff member was very helpful at finding us a room that we liked. The room was spacious and clean. Any problems we had were sorted out straight away. We felt safe, comfortable and the hotel has secure undercover parking. A staff member was very helpful when we needed to heat some food. Would definitely come back again. Close to public transport. Thank you! :)

The room was fine, the shower would benift be a shower and not an over bath. The water was far too hot, someone will get burnt. The window was a major let down there was gaps in it and it doesn't close properly also the glass is far too thin and you can hear every single noise from the road outside. The location was convenient to the tram and Bus stop. I didn't appreciate being charged a $150 deposit, that I want made aware of at the time of booking. I also feel it is wrong to charge someone who has paid to stay and additional fee of $20.30 for a carpark, how do you suppose alot of people get to the hotel in the 1st place? I'm not sure I would stay here again.

Myself and my partner stayed here for one night and unfortunately we had a terrible experience. On check in we were informed that we had been upgraded to an alternative room. At 01.15am a man walked into our bedroom and gave us both an awful fright. It was a traumatic experience to find out that another gentleman had been checked into our room at this hour. The room itself was very basic and the place needs an upgrade. At 7.20 the same person whom checked us in then came knocking on our door to find out who was in the room even though he checked us into that room. We were advised he would speak to the manger about that this and see what he could. On check out he openly apologised and admitted it was his fault as he did not update the system yesterday on our arrival for the night staff. All we were offered was a cold breakfast which we kindly refused while his colleague behind the desk sniggered and laughed at the situation. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour and completely unprofessional. I would not return here and would like to reach out to the manager for a formal complaint
