9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,005 reviews)
It's a good place for very short term stay (eg overnight). The place is a little dated and some things were not built / designed well. But it does the job. e.g. the sink doesn't have the best drainage and the shower doesn't have exhaust. The bathroom wooden panels are all soaking in moisture. The place seem obsessed warning people about smoking - which is good for non-smokers. I'd recommend staying here one (or max two) nights. It is also a few blocks away from where all activities are in the city centre.

Had a very warm welcome on our arrival and discontinued throughout our stay. Our room was extremely clean and very well stopped. Possibly the best bed that we have slept in on our stay on our various days in Australia. And a pillow menu is always greatly appreciated. We have stayed in lesser Hotels better Hotels that do not offer this.
