Room had no wardrobe to hang clothes in. Should be tagged as a hostel rather than hotel.

Stayed with partner

Staff were very welcoming and gave us early access to our room. Greatly appreciated, after a very stressful early morning that saw us nearly not make the trip. Awesome location, to town, restaurants and One Stadium. Highly recommend for that. There was a bit of noise from plumbing pipes in other areas - were woken early on our first night due to that. Cool looking place, with a great vibe.

Stayed with friends

great staff, great venue and amenities however we stayed in a bunk bedroom that had a toilet/shower inside it however the rooms outside our front door in the corridor and had their bathroom separate from their room and across the hallway. We had a group of four young ladies who kept on going in and out of the bathroom repeatedly for a few hours late at night (and I am in repeatedly like every five minutes or less which was crazy and I did say something to them about how it was keeping us awake) but it kept going (10pm to 1230am) and the door was very loud!.!! So I don’t know why they want me to do that and what was going on, but it was very annoying
