The hotel was in a great location however the air conditioner was so noisy that we were woken every time it turned on. I would not stay in room 612 again. Maybe another room if the air conditioning wasn’t too loud.

Cute but very small room. Was convenient but old. Parking and access to the hotel if you have a car is lousy unfortunately and that information wasn't provided. No space on the street to stop and remove luggage despite being told in advance that was the best option. And car parking is expensive - so don't consider this place if you have a car. Otherwise, a good option for central city.

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice decor etc. but some real disappointments
Very disappointed in the bathroom/toilet. They are arranged in such a way that the toilet is flooded when the shower is used. The flooding is unavoidable due to the proximity of the toilet to the shower. The toilet is basically rendered useless/until the floor is mopped. We had to use our bath towels to clean it up. The TV remote would only work if when held close to the TV. Reception did replace the batteries, but this did not resolve the issue. There was no instruction as to how the air con worked. We had to turn it off because we could not increase the temp. By about 3.00am it was freezing. The restaurant menu leaves a lot to be desired.
