Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Pros:
1. Avoca Lodge served its purpose as a comfortable place to stay. It was clean and tidy and the bed and pillows were pretty comfortable.
2. There is a communal area for cooking and laundry which is cool and was relatively clean.
3. Lots of cafes and restaurants in walking distance.
Cons:
1. The mini fridge was so small they may as well not bother to have one - a dinner plate doesn’t even fit in it. 2. I checked in just before 4, and although it seemed smooth, my door wouldn’t unlock. The receptionist left the property just before 4 and so it took about 15 minutes of phone calls back and forth to have it sorted which was annoying. It would have been good if the receptionist stayed on site for an extra few minutes to make sure I could actually get in instead of run out before I could even get upstairs to the door. All the room doors are touch key entry which seems fancy, but sometimes an actual key is better.
3. Again the fridge in the common area was small (like a bar fridge) and was packed with stuff so not really useful. Would have been better to have a proper sized fridge for the common area
Otherwise it was a comfortable, clean, and affordable place to stay for a short time in a great location.
