The hotel was in a convenient location for the theatre precinct. However, there was an issue with only having one very slow lift. On our last day we couldn't get down from the thirteenth floor and no one had contacted us about why the lift was out of action. Also, the front steps would be problematic f a young woman with a bag that she could not carry up the stairs.or older people or people with heavy bags. My husband had to help

Difficult to enjoy a construction zone. Excessive noise during the day. Staff tried hard to keep guests informed and happy but they were up against a major refurbishment. Would have helped to prepare guests prior to arriving..ie at booking time. Felt cheated. Room was superb and I loved the bath products.
