Comfortable stay for a night out.
Pros:

Handy location, just a short tram ride or walk to the Palais Theatre. The shower pressure was wonderful and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

The only thing that I can think of, would have been if they could have a bin in the bedroom, not just 1 in the bathroom, but that's a very minor thing.
