Hotel is in a great location but we had booked a deluxe twin room and the beds were so soft, the room was anything but deluxe with a view of a wall and so outdated and the included continental breakfast was tinned fruit in syrup and plain yoghurt and toast. Definitely can do much better for the price. On the plus, the shower was good.

I had great expectations, but really old, lumpy pillows and threadbare towels for $334 a night is disgraceful! No complementary bottle of water and charging extra for breakfast at that price is ridiculous. I would not stay here again. Staff were lovely, and temperature of the room was great if i had to say something positive.
