The room was what we needed and a great location. It was clean and quiet. Staff at the reception desk were all helpful. We were able to check our bags after check out to take one of our classes we had booked. There was no breakfast/snacks included but there was a restaurant on location (which we did not try).

Fantastic location for us- right off Waverley train station; yet was quiet at night. So much within walking distance. They take your luggage prior/after check out. Friendly staff and delicious toasties/VERY well made drinks at their bar. (Espresso martini & Moscow mule) - Very clean room and comfortable linens. Love the later checkout time. Would recommend Pep & Fodder blocks away for breakfast.
