This is my 3rd time staying at Southern Cross Atrium. Great location - walking distance to shopping centre, train, bus and Esplanade/Marina. Units are always very clean and kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The 3 pools are wonderful. My only 'complaint' is that a sauna is advertised but it is never operational.

I loved staying here. Very close to everything, even a mall next door with grocery stores. Easy walk to the esplanade. Except for nighttime hours there was always someone available to assist....sometimes even before I asked. They fixed a power problem immediatly and quickly arranged a cab for the airport.
