My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, but there were issues with homeless individuals and odors. The hotel is wheelchair-friendly, which is good, but finding someone else's underwear on the floor was a major downside.

The apartment is conveniently located within easy walking distance of all that South Bank offers, including the conference center. However, the rooms were very dark with no natural light, which was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the service was excellent with helpful and friendly staff offering alternative parking options.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location near the Grey Street precinct and the river. The rooms, although a bit small without a kitchen, were new and stylish. The service was friendly, although there were a few hiccups. The location is perfect for enjoying sunsets over the mountains and easy access to public transport. The dining experience was decent, and the facilities met expectations.
