Not too bad
Good position, not 5 star, bit funky and good for an overnighter…Closed businesses downstairs make it a bit eerie….

Nice? No thanks!
On entering it was ok. Not amazing, just ok. Children were happy enough until mice (yes, plural!) began running across the floor. Watched them run out of our room and down the hallway under the reception door. Once we were fairly confident there was none in our room we had to get a blanket to block the gap under the door. Leaves you with a foul taste in your mouth and an uneasy feeling for the remainder set of the evening.

I lost my key on my final night and had no assistance in getting a new one. Which was very scary considering I was in an area i wasn't familiar with and had nowhere to sleep.

The person who checked me in on Thursday and Checked me out on Monday was very kind and attentive. The issues I experienced during my stay were mainly related to the cleanliness and the noise from other guests on the floor above me.
Regarding the cleanliness theres there was mould above the showers and dust along the walls. I had to request a staff member check the door next to the toilet as it had concerning brown stains which wiped away with some dampened toilet paper. The table provided in the lounging area of the room had marks and stains over it. The bin and blinds in the room also need some repairs. For the nights over the weekend there were no issued with sound until the last night (sun). A larger family had been booked into a small room above mined and there was consistent thumping for hours before I complained to reception. I later was later awoken 10:30 pm by more constant thumping and yelling from the family where I texted the number provided to speak to the room again. I was then again woke at 2am by the thumping in the room again. I didnt bother to text or call as I received no response to my text messages from earlier.

I liked the position and the quirky artwork. The room itself had a lovely outlook over Fitzroy Street but was in disrepair with water damage and worn carpet. The television didn’t work at all and there was no milk for the tea or coffee provided. The room was not very clean and I wouldn’t stay here again.
