Courtney Australia

great location, lovely lobby, amazing views, comfy beds.

Maree Australia

Good value for money. Apartment is small, but has everything needed.

Diane Switzerland

We liked the balcony door that opened for fresh air, the outside pool that faced west in the afternoon, the bike storeage facility and the tram stop around the corner.

Carolyn Australia

Friendly staff, they upgraded our room for our honeymoon, really spacious, had everything we needed and was REALLY clean. We can't really fault this place. The location is good but not "central" you will have to walk/catch public transport to get around but close to Crown Casino which was nice. Woolworths is across the road if you need groceries. Gym is tiny but better then nothing, pool was nice.
