Not the first time I stayed at Hides and definitely won't be the last. I always opt to stay at Hides whenever I'm needing a room in the city area/s. Always my first preference. Although!!! take note of the times for free parking, otherwise that parking spot will chew at your holiday budget!

Reeplace the Shower Head please.

The shower head was in a very bad condition. $50 spent at Bunnings to replace it would be a simple solution

The staff were nice enough, however the hotel was only alright. The hallways were unbearably warm and the AC barely kept the room at a reasonable temperture. There were always sketchy things going on around the hotel too... Very loud homeless people
