Terrific position, but disappointing room. No cupboard or shelves to put clothing. King bed is too singles pushed together, which moved apart during the night. Rats in roof which kept us awake with their gnawing within the ceiling, which might explain the off smell when we entered, thus needing to open all doors. TV only has movies, so we couldn't watch the news, Big Bash or tennis. There were no instruction booklets on how to use the TV or Aircon. Overpriced.

A last minute decision to book a room meant the unstaffed reception desk was not expecting us, but a phone-call, 'How to ...' SMSd reply & very helpful laundry worker meant we still had a very comfortable stay. Trouble with the TV was also promptly resolved, in person.

Easy to find, room was quite small and lacked the basics, no reception area, picked up key in an envelope. No bench top and no plates to use to make toast. The small window by the door let a lot of light in, so the room wasn’t as dark as it should have been. Shower pressure was good.
