We checked in for a 3 night stay at the hotel and was advised upon check in that rooms are cleaned and replenished with fresh towels every 3 days. We are world travelers and have never ever experienced such ever before in our travels. As Australians it is embarrassing for our country to see overseas travelers witness this level of poor service.

Check in very slow and understaffed. Room clean but very noisy as next to a lift. Breakfast good and hotel in great location. Something needs to be done about lift noise, sleeping difficult as it was active all night.

Amazing location, very central. Clean and refurbished rooms. Friendly staff. Only disappointment is, we booked a room for 3 people, paying extra, but they did not provide the extra bed for the 3rd person. Will stay again.
