Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

great locationshower temperaturenoisy guests

The location was great, as it was easy to reach many restaurants and shops.

The shower temperature fluctuated wildly. It kept changing from hot to cold without any adjustment (certainly not what I want). I could hear noisy guests in the hallway late at night. (I barely slept!)

The location was quite convenient. The breakfast buffet offered a satisfying variety.

The room felt somewhat outdated, with noticeable wear and tear on the furniture. The noise from nearby rooms was a persistent issue. I could hear conversations and the slamming of doors late into the night. This made it difficult to get a restful sleep..

the location was great. lambton quay shops were a short walk away. the front desk staff were friendly. the room was clean and spacious.

the fire alarm woke me up at 6 am. i stood outside in the cold with no explanation. there were no hand towels in the bathroom. the room information required scanning a qr code to access a menu that was invalid.

convenient locationsmooth check-incomfortable roomgood pressure

the hotel's location near the harbor. check-in was smooth because i had completed it online. the room was comfortable and it included all the facilities i needed. the shower had good pressure and the location was a couple of blocks from the train station.

the soap available was a shampoo/conditioner and bodywash combo stuck to the wall and there was no individual hand soap.

The central location is helpful. The bathroom provides good lighting around the mirror, I observed.

The hotel hallways sometimes had cups.
