Party City

Great location to beach and restaurant/bar district and nightlife. Not enough parking space to accommodate all guests but suggested nearby parking structure was $5AUS per day less and convenient but no in and outs. Breakfast was very good but barista coffee is extra.

Perfect location right next to the lake. We stayed here twice, and would stay again. The rooms do need some upgrade, but they are comfortable and clean. The front desk, concierge, and valet were all nice and helpful.
