V. good

The staff were friendly, easy to work with and quick. The rooms were spacious for the pricing and everything was pretty good. Beds were comfortable and the room had the A/C on and the room was nice and cool when I checked it. I managed to check in earlier than I expected nearly 2 hours early which was a big + Not too far from the CBD and you can catch the T1 light rail from central to powerhouse station and the walk isn't far at all. All in all I was pleased for the price I paid per night for what I had got.
