Great central location. The room price reflected the condition. Fan was hanging off the ceiling the aircon was hardly working and super noisy so didnt get much sleep. The place is very tired could do with renovations being done but its in a fantastic central location and cheap compared to other hotels so just depends on what you want for your stay. We were happy to be able to walk to everything.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Its an old building but rooms have been updated. Lots of space but could do with a couple chairs in the room. Its the first hotel I have stayed at where there is a charge for luggage storage following check out. Its $6 for a locker.

This hotel was just what I needed after traveling abroad and staying in hostels. A private room to myself with a big bed, tv and nice shower. I was able to check in early which is lovely. It was stupid that they make you pay to store your luggage, because I just sat in the lobby with it to avoid that and cluttered up their front space. Close to restaurants and grocery store.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is well located in the city center, but our experience was quite disappointing. During our 6-night stay, the room was never cleaned despite requesting it. The Wi-Fi advertised does not actually work, which also makes the smart TV useless. The bathroom, especially the shower, is in poor condition and needs serious improvement.
