Perfect location - St. George Mall, that is, the centre of the city. Helpful staff - we were leaving early in the morning, and - - they prepared for us a packed breakfast to take with, - they booked a taxi, and we paid for it by a credit card in the hotel, before leaving. Very good breakfast. Clean nice room, with good bed linen and two pillows - one firm and the other soft.
