Loved that there was a pool! The bus stop being so close to the hotel was very convenient. The hotel facility itself was beautiful, clean and accommodating, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Lovely hotel, lovely staff. Just gets a bit hot and loud at night but would stay here again. We left the window open while we slept and it helped a good amount.
Fabulous hotel in a convenient location. Easy walk to restaurants and touring the city. Great breakfast albiet service in both the breakfast cafe and the restaurant was very slow.
The restaurant staff were not prepared and food was just ok. Property itself was great.

The hotel is located around many homeless and vagrants, security in the door of the hotel as a precaution, went out at 10pm on a Saturday evening and was instantly followed by 2 individuals, informed security on my return who just smiled, staff un attentive, the in house coffee shop do not acknowledge that you require service (on the 2 occasions I tried) many emails to check in online and check out but when tried to proceed with this service it then asks you to check out at the reception
Wonderful hotel in a great location. The dining room was definitely understaffed on the weekend. To get drinks you had to go to the bar. No table service.
