Review by hotel critic
The location is ideal, just a short stroll from the city center and close to public transport, making it easy to access the vibrant Australian hospitality. The spacious rooms provided a fridge and tea/coffee facilities which were handy. Although housekeeping was not immaculate, the spaces were clean enough to feel comfortable during my stay. I especially enjoyed the shared kitchen, which featured an air fryer—a nice touch for preparing meals. The staff, particularly Harriet, were friendly and accommodating, ensuring I had everything I needed. With competitive pricing, you can save your dollars for adventures like snorkeling or exploring the Great Barrier Reef. The Jack strikes a smart balance for travelers. I'm likely to return on my next trip!
