Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The rooms are well kept and clean. I will note that the bathroom is only separated by frosted glass which is fine for a solo traveler or couple but could be off-putting to friends/siblings sharing a room. There is not sufficient parking for the guests, but the staff were helpful in pointing out street parking and they generally have a space free for dropping off luggage at check-in and packing it up at check-out. The breakfast is included but the options are limited and feel like a school cafeteria.

Not much choice. No cheeses or cold meats. Rotated between vegetable fried rice or noodles, were tasty though. Staples- sausages, hash browns or potato gems and scrambled eggs. Had fresh fruit, compote, yoghurt, cereals and jams. Hotel was clean and convenient to cafes and restaurants. Would stay again
