Would go back - good reception

Great hotel about a half mile from the water front. Dunkin donuts around the corner and 5 minutes walk from Starbucks and next to a small park with fountains. I was very happy. Room a bit dated but big and spacious.

Poor - smoky and no hot water

Check in fine and good central location near to underground car park. However our room on a non-smoking floor was incredibly smoky. Clearly they don't take a penalty charge against clients who break the rules and they don't do a deep clean after somebody smokes in a non-smoking room. Horrible smell. They changed us to a better room but didn't seem interested in the smelly room at all. In the morning, the shower water was not very warm so we couldn't shower - poor really. Otherwise it's a cheap and centrally located hotel - a bit old and tired though and not much management interest in giving us a non-smelly room with hot water. It's not much to ask really. We would book somewhere else next time.
