Centrally located , and within walking distance to the light rail and all the shops and cafe around Randwick. It was a family trip to attend my son ‘s graduation , which we booked for four rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only negative feedback from me is one of the room 103 , the air conditioning was malfunctioned and there is no hairdryer in room 101. Overall all were good.
