Yeah, I did try to make the argument but they weren't having it. I couldn't be bothered persisting as I was on a work trip and can expense breakfast, so figured I would just expense the $5.
The windows faced an internal courtyard which wasn't a thoroughfare so it wasn't a problem at all, for this particular room.
Yeah, it is unfortunately. The nearby Novotel earn is better, and the price is about the same, but the room and amenities quality is a good 1-1.5 stars worse. The Sebel Civic was my go-to previously, but their on-site restaurant closed down and the new breakfast offering is rubbish. I think I have posted in this thread for both of these in the last year or two. The other reason I stayed at Peppers this time was that I had a car, and overnight street parking in much easier to find around Acton. It's a royal PITA near the Novotel & Sebel.
I keep staying at the Novotel. Location is great but rooms are average and breakfast abysmal. Your room looked pretty decent. What's the gym like, if there is one?
