This hotel room was very impressive for an economy room. Had good air conditioner, microwave, fridge, tv, window with greenery outside, tea and coffee with jug, very clean, confortable bed. Shared bathroom facilities good and safe. Also a lift. Close to Martin Place and Wynyard so excellent location. Staff pleasant and helpful. You are given a room key and a key to get into hotel after hours. Am happy to stay again.

Staff were quite rude at check in however I think this may be because it’s also a very busy pub. Good happy hour in the bar. Showers etc were good. There was a leak from the aircon and one outside our door - I did contact the hotel whilst we were there however as it was a Sunday no one was on site and I didn’t get a reply
