The location suited us perfectly. Everything we wanted was in walking distance, and when it was a little further, the light rail was really good. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the room was modern, and very well managed.

Great location. Wasn't happy there was no car park. Had to take the car to Wilson's and the cost for two nights was ridiculous.

Absolutely amazing. So close to all our activities. We had our son, and he would rather stay in at the hotel than to go out and do anything. Staff was great. Will definitely be coming back here again.
