OK for a short break

Sheets were clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was OK. The decor in the room, mildew in the shower and general appearance of the hotel was dated and tardy. Service was good and overall served a purpose. Needs a lick of paint and some tlc though.

Unclean and unkempt

The room was extremely unclean, skirting boards had dust caked on it, there was mould in the shower, probably because there was no ventilation. The shower barely drained and the shower curtain was in bad condition too The mattress was so thin and uncomfy as well. Breakfast is extremely sub-par, literally just coffee, croissants and eggs, nothing substantial to eat. No real service, most of the staff didn't seem to want to be there and on the day of check out, we had housekeeping almost come into our room at 10am when checkout wasn't until 11am.

Americana Hotel

Quaint front to the Hotel, friendly reception and quiet location but not a run down area, lots of renovation works going on in nearby bldgs. Americana was least expensive so we had idea of what to expect. However the room we stayed in had no view just a wall and slight opening to see closed allyway of other walls with windows looking down on our room. The room was tiny, and restroom was super tiny, with a 600mm x 600mm shower tray with glass sides and a bizzarre shower curtain in the corner that you have to lift and walk in sideways(and I mean Iam slim). The soap dispenser was way too high, I had trouble getting it dispensed never mind my child. However the room was cleaned well even though it is very tired to put it nicely. Bedding was clean and fresh as were towels. What disappoints in the room slightly makes up for the breakfast, good coffee, fresh juices, pastries, cereals, bread for toasting, other hosts were decent people and friendly, hotel seems to attract nice people so thats a plus(yes really) Overall if your just staying a few days and you want a lesser expense, and enjoy similar vacationers experience and clean sheets then this will help with your budget.
