This is an older hotel and it shows. I picked this hotel for the parking, parking in hotel garage was not available. Shower was a stall, diffucult to move around in. Mold in kettle. Bedding smelled like someone's cologne. Staff was great. Breakfast was nice.

The person on duty was rather offhanded about the parking, really did not care. We were not advised that there was limited parking and that we would have to park on the street with timed parking meters.

Great stay. Clean, warm. Staff were friendly. Easy walk to the octagon, restaurants. Booked a carpark downstairs easy access via lift up to our floor. There is a height limit of 1.9m which wasn’t an issue for us with a medium sized 4am. Views were amazing from the 8th floor. Chromecast to tv from our phone so easy - didn’t need to log in to our streaming accounts on tv. Would stay again.
