The hotel reminded me of a jail with metal bars and staircases. The staff were awkward and unfriendly and the rooms were small and not well cleaned. It was extremely noisy of a night with light shining through around the door

A very well positioned hotel, very friendly staff. There werev a couple ofn problems--the queen size bed was made up of two single beds pushged together making it very uncomfortable to sleep in the middle ofn the bed. They warned there would be minimal room cleaning on Good Friday which was fine, but they also didn not clean the room on easter Saturday with no notice on that. I returned to the room with a friend for a drink and found it still dirty and the bed unmade---they needed to be more specific in their information.They also ask for $50 deposit , many of the better middle range hotels such as this (ie the Victoria)no longer ask for this as they have the credit card details already. The room also has no window so no fresh air can come in the room at all. This is a real problem. The hotel is overall pleasantly run but they need to look at these problems.
