Scenic Hotel Southern Cross
Room was outdated. Advertised buffet breakfast at a discounted rate only to find out at the restaurant that the advertisement was no longer valid. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Good location but a tired hotel with rooms needing a makeover. For the price there are better options available elsewhere.
