Nice hotel but unfair charges.
Pros:

Location good
Room & Breakfast good

Cons:

We arrived 1 hour early before check in time. We were informed our room was ready but we would have to pay $25 extra. I think is an appalling grab for money.

Amazing stay except for being on level 2.
Pros:

Great location so close to central station and so many amazing restaurants. Beds are always comfortable.

Cons:

First time staying on level 2 (have stayed other times on higher levels) and the traffic noise on level 2 was awful. Had an interrupted sleep due to the noise from the street.
