Location is praised as central, with easy access to the city, airport, and Southern Cross Hospital, and some guests found it quiet.

No llegaba la señal del Wifi a nuestro cuarto; no servía muy bien la calefacción, tuvimos que pedir toallas y tazas, y aunque las personas de la recepción eran amables, y trataron de resolvernos todo, el internet nunca llegó.

The room was only partially cleaned for my late arrival. Some of the furniture was dusty and the inside of the bathroom drawers had hair and dust in them. All of the containers for shampoo, soaps, etc needed refills. The coffee and tea were so old, the packaging was breaking open. The fabric headboard smelled like old cigarette smoke. The person on the front desk was as helpful as he could be, considering it was over New Years that I was there. The outside grass has just gone to weeds. Outside waste bins were overflowing. If it weren’t for vehicles parked there, the property would look like it had been abandoned.

The bathroom window was not private enough and had no curtain. The room was cold and the heater did not work. It looked like someone else had left their. ShamPoo and moisturizer in the shower and they left it for clients to use. When I needed a receipt when checking out, nobody was around to sort it

First impressions weren't great on arrival, the front lawns were overgrown, mail was falling out of the letterbox, exterior bins were overflowing. There was insufficient cutlery and linen, and they curtain track had come away from the wall at one end so you had to be very careful when opening and closing the curtain. It also appears the office is not manned, as there was no one on site when we arrived about 6:30pm or when we departed about 8am.
