Great little hotel right in the city so we could walk everywhere. It was very quiet being new with black out curtains. The shower pressure was awesome. The breakfast was excellent with good options & friendly service. Good quiet room aircon which was easy to adjust to how we liked it.Our only complaint was the bed was too hard & they kindly put a topper on it which didnt make it much softer. It also had the standard hotel polyester duvee inner which makes me sweat but luckily there was a natural fiber blanket so we could take the polyester off & just use the blanket.

Great location by the Square so able to walk everywhere. Close to many eateries, a movie theatre, bus terminal and shopping areas. View was over the street but the hotel was quiet and modern. Large bedroom area and shower but a bit cramped in the bathroom area. Helpful staff. Had a huge breakfast there one morning.

Great place for 1 person stayer, heaps of space, very tidy, reception were polite and easy going. Only thing I’d say wrong is the room has almost too much empty space in it but overall nothing is wrong it. I’d give it a 5.
