Campbell's Excellent Hotel Stay

digital keyconvenient locationcomfy slipperseasy walk
Check-in uses a digital key. It is convenient. The hotel is next to the ICC. The Convention Tram station is only 80m. Central station is a 10-15 minute walk. I find the comfy slippers excellent. Self check-in means i didn't wait in queues. Darling Square and China Town are an easy walk.
A slight issue was that the room lacked a comfortable couch.
Location

The hotel is conveniently near the ICC and the Convention Tram station, only 80 meters away. Central Station is also reachable. It is a comfortable 10 to 15-minute walk. Darling Square and Chinatown are within easy walking distance.
