Very noisy road limited sleep. There was renovations being done so not much rest in our “down time.” Staff rude and inaccurate information. Music in foyer was being heard in our room at 5am! Car parking space was extremely tight, not good for bigger cars. Do not recommend

The bar fridge had been disconnected by someone previously to me. When I reconnected it it was a noisy conveyance and I understand why it was turned off. The bed side lamps we out of order and when I advise the staff nothing was done about it whilst I was there. There were undesirable guests in house that were either drug fueled and drunk that caused loud disturbances in the middle of the night.

Shower head leaking profusely on arrival, fixed after reported, shower cubicle leaked, not fixable but offered extra towels to put on the floor. Advertised as "parking available" which means park on the street as long as the car is moved before 7:00am or parking fine. Not my definition of "available". $20 to park under the building, waived after an arguement.
