Absolutely amazing accommodation, 10 minute walk from the center of downtown! Very clean with lots of space and a nice bathroom. My chief complaint would be that instead of a king mattress for the bed, they put together two twins, and you could feel the gap in the middle, also we found many hairs from others around such as on the bed and decorative pillows etc, even one on the toilet. Other than that this place is perfect and I will stay here again.

Conveniently situated but parking $20 - 25 a night

We picked the hotel because of its position in the city and it proved very convenient being only 10-15 minutes walk from the centre. The staff were very helpful. The only downside was that they wanted to charge $25 to park there or $20 in a car park across the road. In the event we found a space on the road outside which was free. We did not eat at the hotel.

Nice hotel, quiet and comfortable. Not much parking space on site so need to park a few minutes walk away in carpark open to the street - parking is $20 per day in either car park.
