We understand our inmates need a good nights sleep so we enforce a quiet zone in the Central Atrium overnight. Due to the thick concrete prison walls you won't hear any noise from your neighbours. However if you do want a late night you can still stay up meeting new friends in our front lounge area.

We have a free luggage storage if you arrive early or need to wait for a later departure. This are also $2 lockers for longer stays. We may be able to provide some luggage storage if you are booked to stay with us again.

This is perfectly fine; we will make sure you receive the codes for the front door and your room before you arrive so you will be able to get in without an issue. Check out is at 10am
