Best rooms
Request a room on the first or second floor, facing away from Maroomba Road (i.e., toward the rear of the property). These floors are above ground level but below the third floor, which can get hot or noisy from roof plant. Rear-facing rooms avoid the traffic rumble from the main road.
Request a room on the ground floor (Level 1) for easier access and a more direct path to the on-site parking. Room 104, the accessible room, is located on this floor, but keep in mind the standard bathrooms do not have grab rails.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the side entrance or lift lobby – that’s where the ramp and car park activity happens, so you’ll hear doors and people coming and going. Also avoid any room directly overlooking the car park (front-facing ground floor) because of headlights and conversation noise.
Avoid rooms near the lift, as the narrow corridors and single lift serving all three floors might create a bottleneck during peak hours.
