This hotel was the best. Plunge coffee, fresh cream-on-the-top milk, kitchenette and supplies including sumptuous chic chip cookies, brilliant cable tv (why isn’t Australian tv this good!!!). The room had everything one needed - and walking distance to the footy. Staff were very friendly. I stayed 2 nights, and the room was fully cleaned after night 1. Easily found on Ulster street by Ubers. Would highly recommend.

The parking was good and the kitchen had all that was required. My only slightly negative point is that the sink unit in the bathroom was loose, it could do with being more secure to the wall. Overall, it was a good stay and I would look to book again. Thank you

Firstly, I arrived to find that I received a free upgrade - so the stay got off to an excellent start. I always appreciate being accommodated on the top level of the lodge, due to my erratic sleep pattern. All the usual things were top notch: great facilities, clean room, plenty of space, nice bathroom, relatively quiet location, handy parking, and welcoming front-office staff. I'll be back to stay in February (I'm a regular visitor).
