Wonderful Stay near Southern Cross Station

metro stationtram accessmicrowave amenitylaundry room
The hotel is close to the main metro station (a great perk for airport transfers). A short walk led me to the tram, providing easy access to the city center. My room had a microwave and amenities (perfect for simple meals). The guest laundry room was helpful. I appreciated the $5 per machine cost.
The sink in the bathroom drained slowly.

The breakfast included plenty of choices and the food had good variety. I also appreciated the hot chocolate provided in breakfast. The location was excellent and close to public transportation.
The furniture looked basic and tired. The bathroom sink did not drain properly when I used it. There was no lift security up to the rooms, so anyone can walk straight in.
