    The hotel is very accessible to the tram. Near to the southern Cross Station. Beside the hotel has a convenient store and 7/11. Also one thing I like is that you can cook which saves a lot of money.

    I felt safe due to reception operating 24hr and security with swipe card for entering the front door and bathroom area. I chose to have a double room to myself and it was perfect. Adequate power points and lights. Comfortable bed with nice linen...
