great locationbattery problemdusty ledges
The location is great for bars, restaurants, shopping and access to the CBD. It is convenient (if that is your thing).
I got locked out for about 30 mins, and they had to change the battery. It was frustrating. The room seemed clean but dust sat on the ledges.
