There are no staff other than cleaning staff. The entire place is electronic. It’s actually really easy. The biggest thing is there aren’t many restaurants close by for breakfast. Dinner choices are a bit better but still a little bit of a walk. Be prepared to walk or take cabs if you stay here. The room was nice enough. The bed felt hard when I sat down, but once I laid down it wasn’t. All in all a nice experience for a place to crash and it wasn’t too far from my office. M

Loved the location to Stadium for the Match. Very quiet after dark, not many pepple walking about. Food locations are within walking distance.Alot of steps which i expected with the age of building. My room was beautiful but felt dirty. Carpet was older and my shower curtain was dirty I also found hair on the bath tub wall before i showered.

Old and musty
Hotel is old and needs to be renovated. Carpet needs to be ripped out. Smells musty and damp. Mattress was old. Reserved a king size bed and got a queen size. Conveniently located near the Aviva stadium and shower has amazing pressure. But overall was not impressed especially with how much the room cost.

Frustrating check-in experience
This is a nice enough place, but I have to mark it down quite a bit because of service issues. Because the owners want to run it with no front desk and minimal staff, they say that they will email the codes required to get into the building and room. Fair enough. The problem is that they use Expedia to send those messages, which creates an unnecessary delay. Check-in time was 2pm, and I did not receive the email with the codes until nearly 8pm. We were forced to simply show up at 2pm and demand to be let into our room. To make matters worse, the person I dealt with refused to acknowledge that such a thing was even possible, implying that the fault was with me. The solution would have been simple: rather than going through Expedia, email me directly! I know they had my email address because they did use if for a separate correspondence about leaving bags there. That was also a source of frustration. One person said that it would be fine to leave bags in their lobby area. Another said no, it would not be, and recommended another place quite a distance away. When we arrived, we noticed a sign in the lobby saying that not only can you not leave any luggage there but that "any luggage found lying around the property will be left at owners risk and will be removed." Yikes! Removed to where? And what will be done with it? Whoever runs this place needs to go back to hotel management school.

I honestly cannot recommend this place. We have only stayed for 1 night, however the whole property kind of felt dated, or just simply old. Our room felt damp, whenever I stepped onto the carpet, it felt like I could feel the last 20 years in it with every step. It was rather cold and just had a certain damp feel to it with what felt like mold being in the air and the walls. Maybe we just got unlucky with our room, but when booking a Superior room, I didn't expect going below ground level with what seemed like a backyard view of the property's dumpsters. I actually looked at the pictures of the room now before writing this review and the pictures do not really match the reality. While they are not necessarily wrong, they make the rooms look much better than they actually are.

Overall okay stay. Room was nice and clean. Very weird vibe though. We weren’t given an access code to get into the main door. After 20 minutes of waiting, we found a way to contact someone inside. They seemed annoyed we were there. While sitting in the main room, new guests came and asked us how to get into their room and where the staff were. We were happy to help but think they would have had a better system of signage; just something. On top of this, Someone tried to get into our door at 11pm which isn’t something anyone wants to experience. You really get what you pay for, maybe a little less. Not coming back here.

The room was adequate but the furnishings and the room was dusty with cobwebs. Bathroom was clean and the beds were good. It would make sense to put a number directory next to the phone was patrons staying at the hotel in case front desk needs to be called. Also the instructions at the front door not very clear, we spent a good 20mins entering all sorts of invoice details thinking it's the code as it asks for code to be put in initially which is very misdirecting. Furthermore, the hotel needs to adjust their advert on Expedia to state that the payment when reserved to pay at property is in fact an online payment NOT a card payment as the post suggests. Despite this, the closeness to the public transport and the 30-40mins walk to city was worth it.
