convenient stay near everything

ideal locationuseful equipmentfaulty air conditioning
location was ideal close to many attractions including the cultural centre and south brisbane railway station etc. the kitchenette had all i needed and i really appreciated the inclusion of a washing machine a drier and even an iron with an ironing board.
i noticed the air conditioning did not work as well as i expected nor did the tv function properly. because i was out most of the time i did not report the issues but i wish it had worked upon arrival.

I found the location superb, literally in the arts center. A quick walk led me to the amazing food places in Fish Lane. The room I booked was clean. The location was excellent, awesome for easy access to many attractions.
The rubbish bins under my room were emptied quite early, around 7.00 am.
