Rooms are old and tired, mouldy curtain, broken and mouldy tiles in bathroom, shower tap plate coming off wall - this is NOT 4-star. AND BEWARE as they sting you for the full amount at check-in ($400 for a studio), $40 for a carpark a $250 bond - I've only ever handed over my credit card for a hotel to take an imprint, so I was annoyed about this. No signage in lobby to suggest it is the Chancellor. Location is good, proximity to the city is good, but this is not an intl standard 4-star - more like 3 star at most.

Liked: Cleanliness
The best thing about the hotel is the location. The room was clean but tatty (scuff marks on walls, crack down front of dishwasher, full ashtray out on balcony table). To get into the gym or parking you have to go to reception and ask someone to let you through, I recommend not doing this near check in/ check out time as with one staff member and a long queue you will wait a while.
