the hotel is near chinatown, this is convenient for dining options. the room was spacious (i had a beautiful twin). i found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

the room i had overlooked a laneway. there was noise from people in the early hours. i also heard rubbish trucks from 6am. i didn't think the double glazing was effective enough.

a comfortable stay near chinatown

great locationspacious roomcomfortable bedparking situation

the location was great, near china town (i enjoyed exploring local eateries). the room was spacious and it had nice bathroom lighting. i found the bed very comfortable and i slept well.

the car parking situation was not good as we followed a map to a separate block. we had to carry our luggage back which was very inconvenient (i wish there was better signage). i wouldn't have stayed if i knew this.
