Great spot to stay for out oft owners seeing a concert at the ICC. Lots of airline crews staying which usually is a positive sign. Good breakfast deal with parking and close to Chinatown and gardens. Recommended.

The property is so conveniently located within walking distance of many tourist areas of interest, as well as being close to public transport. There is a parking station within walking distance and you get a cheaper rate through the hotel, so enquire with the hotel before booking parking online.

Room we checked into was mouldy, staff found us another room straight away. Some mould in this room also, but nowhere near as bad. Bathroom fills with condensation to the point where it's running down the walls after even a brief shower. Air conditioning unit shut itself off twice during our 3 night stay making the room hot and stuffy. Location is great, close to transportation and walking distance to many points in the city.
