· Achievers Room
The room was a good size and quiet. I liked that we were given the room and left to run the day on our own
The corridors were dark/no lights were turned on for us, the toilets were all locked except one male toilet and we were always locked out of the building when we needed to leave, needing hotel guests to let us in. Also was a little misleading as the facilities say a projector/table/chairs but it’s an extra $400 for those items on top of the rate. There was also no reception in the room and we were only given 4 codes for wifi.

Great central location, super close to public transport with a tram stop outside the door, and well priced with the option to hire for the exact number of hours we needed, not full or half day only. Good for our budget to have the chance to bring our own catering.

Venue was great, big enough to cater for a big group or community.
There was no chiller in the room where we were serving alcohol. Parking is too squashy and hard for families with young kids to struggle to figure out that we have to come back to the hotel reception and find out that lift to the Rooms was different. Very bad experience.
Our catering couldn’t bring food through the venue at via easy access. The whole entrance and exit to the venue was ridiculous.
Apartment rooms were too small. We squeezed in with our families.
