“They need to clean the vent for the bathroom”
A woman at the reception asked a number of my bank card and enter it to her computer, because I can damage something.

“Excellent car parking!”
The car parking was excellent and location good if you want to be close to CBD but not too close. Across the road from the exceptional Botanical Garden. The steepest Baldwin Street not far away, in fact we walked there. Walked to the train station to board the scenic train ride. Staff were lovely. The room was well priced as it was cheaper and as expected the quality of the room matched it. The only issue was the walls were a bit thin but I guess it was just built that way.
