Very Basic but clean and had everything we needed. Staff were friendly. Parking was very tight. Have a small car and was still quite difficult to manoeuvre around.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were professional and courteous, offered an early check in as an unexpected bonus when we asked to store some luggage while we went to lunch. Our room was spotlessly clean and the shower pressure was great. A convection microwave made having snacks in the room a breeze. One of the castors on a bed did become dislodged but the maintenance team had it replaced in under half an hour with no hassles. Will definitely be looking at the Great Southern again for a stay in the CBD, it's very handy to the station as well as all the main tram lines.

A/C unit was dirty & not functioning properly; First day it was 17° & the unit would turn off when selecting heat function every time. The beds were too soft & pillows just weird. Missed room cleaning one day & still took over ½hr to get done once contacted reception. Finally, homeless/vagrants frequent the Smokers Lounge & Carpark area. The only good thing was its close to everything.

Dirty rooms, felt like a prison block Upgraded to a queen when we saw how bad the standard double was, this was better but overall a very poor stay Tiny bathrooms, generally felt in enclosed in the hotel and aircon units in the rooms are incredible noisy
