This is a real gem, glad to have found it. Extremely good location in the city and in a nice quiet area. Easy check in and the staff were friendly.

The pool availability was good. The room size and cleanliness were adequate. Seating and benchtop space were limited. Nowhere to hang clothes. Nowhere to hang swimwear to dry.

Close to the centre of the city. The room was appropriate and clean and reasonable for the price. The shower is not the best, however having plates and cutlery was great for me. Recommended.

Questions about A1 Inn the City

What time is check-in and check-out at A1 Inn the City?

Check-in is from 1:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does A1 Inn the City allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at A1 Inn the City?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does A1 Inn the City have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does A1 Inn the City have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book A1 Inn the City?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
