A great alternative to Corporate Hotels.

Warm & friendly staff welcomed us, excellent service in the restaurant & at breakfast. Diner was really delicious & the staff catered for dietary requirements, again at breakfast our needs were met. The exterior of the hotel is boldly decorated, it stands out from the crowd. The room was fabulous, decorated by local artists in the Toyism style, which was extraordinary, it was also comfortable. It is a fun hotel to stay at, we will visit again.
