The location of the property is quite good (about 30 minutes to Sydney CBD via public transport and 20 minutes drive). The bathroom in the room looks renovated and clean. However, the lack of soundproofing in the room (floor-to-ceiling single-glazed window next to the room door) coupled with the enclosed shared space where guests access their rooms, resulted in sounds being echoed and reverberated throughout the entire hall and into the rooms. There is also limited to no dining options in the vicinity of the property.

The property is close to public transport Which was handy and nice The only real issues was the bed bugs OMG. My poor lady was eaten alive.. She has bites all over, the manger was great in offering cream and bug sprays and he even gave us an option of some credit for the future We came from Canberra for a 5 night stay And spend one day in the doctors surgery Waiting to get advice which ruined the trip , some, really a little disappointed as we have stayed here before and the room was passable But never expected this situation. The manger tells me its been brought in by international tourists, i think it needs a full pest control treatment. So the manger was helpful
