Friendly staff, good position, competitive rates.
Pros:

Check in smooth, room spacious and clean, wifi strong and easily accessed, great coffee machine in the reception area, good location, competitive price, and basic kitchen facilities in the room is a great touch.

Cons:

Curtains needed maintenance and there is some noise from the street below. The fittings in the room are a little dated, but they've made up for that with some new touches. For the money, this is an excellent choice for CBD accommodation.
