The room served its purpose. We wanted something close to the F1 track and cheap as our funds ran out buying tickets for the race. Bayside was very close which was great. Trams just out the door, restaurants and bars close.
The staff where very friendly and helpful with info for any transport needed and directions.
I would not suggest you to stay if you like to sleep as this place would be more for the party animals and night owls.
The only thing is the rooms could do with microwaves. It was also hard to sleep before 2am due to the noise of the restaurants and bars below you in the street that are open till late during F1.
Everything else was good, clean and close by. (Date of experience: Mar, 2009 )
