Check in - put us in the wrong room not once but twice. Staff werent very helpful and just allocated another room wtihout checking. Was mean to have aa king rom and got 2 x twins and finally got a king which was 2 twins put together with just a sheet on top, so had a very uncomfortable sleep. toilet was all stained and dirty and very small rooms for the price you pay, we will be trying somewhere else next time. Parking guys were amazing ! Restaurant staff were rather rude and to sign in just yelled across the room to sing in, very understaffed and looked like not very well trained. Location was fantastic, great central location just a shame staff couldnt be better supported.

Smallish rooms but perfect for a business stay. Extremely comfortable beds and the aircon is actually able to be turned down to 16degrees. Far better than boiling in hotel rooms.
