Evan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I picked this property for the price and got what I paid for. It was clean and had all the facilities you need but would definitely be considered a budget property. Staff were friendly and helpful. Car parking is available right outside your door for ground-level rooms. Great location in walking distance to the city and right across the road from the new stadium (when it is completed).
