Liked: Cleanliness
I only stayed here 2 nights to do a tour from Melbourne. It's a very simple hotel, nothing special. Staff at the reception was very friendly! There's a 7Eleven on the corner which is much more budget friendly than Stubby's Cafe that they have on the premises.

This property needs a lot of updating and maintenance. Only one very very slow elevator. Staff said they are renovating property but they wait way too long. The staff are nice and attentive so I give them credit for that.

The hotel building is quite old and one of the elevators is under renovation as of early January 2025. Room 119 has no view outside the window and the room is quite small for 2 people. But the proximity to Southern Cross railway station and on the free tram zone is an advantage.
