Decent

Liked: The girl at the front desk was fantastic and super friendly. She was very accomodating in letting us store our luggage after checking out. I liked how we had an extra hour to check out for free and early check in for $50.
Disliked: The cleanliness of the room could be improved. While the bedding looked fine, the carpets needed a vacuum.

Exceptional

Terrific value spot in a...

Liked: It's a great location, very close to the train station and trams and loads of eating and shopping options, but tucked into a quiet alleyway (although note they are behind the Metro Tunnel work for the State Library - although I didn't hear the noise from the back room). It's well set up and the staff were very friendly. Cafe downstairs so you an get breakfast easily before facing the madding crowds. 24/7 reception - didn't need it, but always helpful. I was able to check in early. Powerpoints are in mostly convenient locations (no USB facilities so make sure to bring a powerbank!) Great value and perfect for my purposes - I will be returning!
Disliked: Not much! The bed might be a bit firm for some and the TV was at a bit of an odd spot for watching. Could do with more variety with their teabags and I prefer places that don't have single-use toiletries, but very minor issues. My room didn't have a microwave.
