well-designed room space conservation bus interchange ideal location
i stayed in a well-designed room and appreciated the space conservation. it was clearly designed for sleeping purposes , so it was comfortable and clean. the location was ideal for my needs within the cbd and near the bus interchange. i found it easy to get around from this location. the lululemon store beside the building was a bonus.
the check-in was not very personable. the staff member was just doing their job , though i would have liked to feel a little more welcomed.
