Friendly staff, good rooms

Quick stay, tried to check in at midday but room wasnt available, but the staff were super friendly. Coffee for those weary travellers and laundery at $3 which takes about 40 mins for a wash and 35 mins to dry said wash. Centrally located, actually, a great location for getting around the park and the city centre.
