Loved it!!!!
Pros:

Everything was ok. Just 2 things, one is the noise, it was very noisy during the night. Two, we had issues with the shower, getting in and out. I think you need to add to you advertising that you actually need to step over into a bath. We had 2 family members with a disability. Maybe also add bath mats.

Cons:

Parking, was not too good

Basic, comfortable, good location.
Pros:

Good location only 4 minute walk to Town Hall, comfy beds.

Cons:

We stayed at here following a stay at the Rydges World Square and it was average in comparison. Small hotel, one staff member at desk for low key check-in, not manned at all times, old style furnishings, discoloured silicone around shower taps (black and in need of replacement), basic buffet breakfast, appreciated the balcony however only fits 2 people. I would rate it a 3 star hotel, disappointing for $600 per night.
