Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Breakfast nothing like advertised - 1 small tray of fruit, small packets of cereal and no buffet.
Aircon could not be less than 24degrees.
Not noise proof and room looking over Avis rental yard - could hear carwash all day.
When 'checked out' was not asked about stay or if I needed taxi.

The staff were polite and the Hotel is very convenient to the city and esplanade.
Pros:

Evans on the front reception. Easy to talk to, lot of fun, easy on the eyes!

Cons:

There was not enough kitchen facilities. I felt like I was constantly asking for tea, coffee and sugar. Empty the bin every day. I think a simple toaster would be nice. The beds were very comfortable but the pillows were hard and flat...a bit dated.

Second stay not as nice as the first
Pros:

I booked a second stay as my first stay the previous month was perfect. This time the noise coming from the bathroom vent was a continuous high level with no off switch. Surely the cleaning lady would notify management of this (room 112).
The beds are comfortable; the room was clean and the Irish lady on reception was just lovely. There is also a pleasant space in reception you can sit and do business with fresh water, tea and coffee.

Central location but poor quality.
Pros:

Central location.

Cons:

Low quality. It's had a paint job but doesn't mask the mouldy tiles in shower, poor quality fittings (e.g. broken slats on wardrobe doors, filthy balcony chairs that you can't sit on). Dirty skirting in bathrooms, clearly not cleaned. Undersized AC units for the rooms.
Expensive for a very poor quality.

Was OK
Pros:

Staff and location were good.

Cons:

We stayed in a family room 117.
One of the beds wasn't straight. It was at a slant, very weird position as the floor was very uneven. The aircon was leaking, and the TV wasn't working.
