The room was good with a comfortable bed, a well-placed TV screen, work desk and two chairs. Loved that I could open a window and get fresh air which is becoming harder to find at hotels these days. Staff very helpful and friendly. Great cafe with excellent coffee just across the street and an easy walk to the city centre.

Location was great and staff were excellent. A lot is expected of the front desk staff who need more assistance for the checkout period. Breakfast was advertised to commence at 6.30 and for the two days we were there the breakfast arrived to work late both mornings which is totally unacceptable and reflects poorly on the Fable brand.
