Lots of homeless people outside the property. Another business which shares a common wall is a night club which blares out music late at night. Some of this music seeps into my room. As per hotel staff university students coming back so club having late nights. Hotel staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Left small chocolate packet in the room for their service, which was a nice gesture.

Property is generally clean. Room is small and dark. It is on a traffic road. Noise from nearby construction, upstairs and downstairs. Parking cost $30. We have to go outside public parking and fed the meter in the morning. not worth the money. Should’ve spent a little bit more to stay closer to the harbour

Many of the facilities are needing some repair - e.g. bath tub stopper does not work, broken gym equipment, elevators that are worked 60% of the time etc. So lots to be improved. But that staff were super friendly, efficient and cleaned brilliantly. The hotel is next to a club - so weekend club music in your room is a real thing.
