underwhelming despite the comfy bed
comfy bedsmall showerbathroom mould
the bed was indeed very comfortable, which i suppose is something.
the bathroom really wasn't great. there was mould i could see, and the shower felt way too small. also, the step into the bathroom seemed designed for stubbing toes.

Excellent Boutique Hotel Experience
victorian restorationking suiteearly check-inconvenient location
The building has beautiful victorian restoration. The superior king suite with balcony provided a amazing experience. I appreciated the early check-in provided by the accommodating staff. A wide variety of cafes, restaurants, and a woolworths are within walking distance.
The room lacked comforts such as water, a safe, or a coffee machine. The mini bar snacks were not replaced after the first day. I found the towels were cheap and old.

the building has beautiful presentation with warm welcome. newly painted white walls creates a fresh look. the location is quiet but also close to everything.
the housekeeping standard isn't consistent. the floor wasn't always vacuumed. sometimes, the bathroom floor wasn't swept and the sink wasn't cleaned.
