On arrival ample on site parking was stress free. Friendly and efficient check-in. Accommodation exactly as described with full size under-counter fridge and microwave oven. Simple bagged breakfast with unlimited coffee was fine. Not too noisy from main road. Good air-con if needed.

This plays gets good reviews but still surprised me pleasantly. It's not flashy but perfectly decent, with clean, spacious, pleasant rooms in a great downtown location. Parking is free and the lot seems reasonably secure. All in all it’s a well run hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely book again when I'm back in town.

Excellent location. Walkable to some attractions. Room ok, a bit outdated but clean linen. Reception, one person seemed well informed but other staff members were not up to par. Parking lot in poor condition. Dining room closed. Breakfast was a bag with yogourt, muffin, juice. Coffee was available at reception and in the room.
