clean, good location for a short stay
Pros:

Location was great, very central to different areas!
Staff were friendly
breakfast offering was generous
great movie selection on the tv + netflix/chromecast
clean
bed comfortable
bar/restaurant is beautiful

Cons:

they use triple sheeting method meaning the dirty unwashed doona comes out and you have direct contact with it
very noisy if on the wharf facing side from nearby pub live music for hours
questionable characters hang out in the square next door
no other amenities on site but can use gym around the corner

Luxurious Stay
Pros:

Very luxurious vibe. Very clean property, room and facilities. Room service was phenomenal. Front desk service also phenomenal.

Cons:

Nothing to do with the property itself but externally there isn’t much street parking available for those unable to find a park or those that don’t want to use the hotel valet

Disappointing stay
Cons:

This hotel used to be good as I've stayed there over 30 times in the last 3 years, however I can see something changed either management or owner , the bathroom absolutely filthy I've collected over 14 long hairs in my shower and the bathroom, carpets dirty and hair everywhere.
Also I've ordered room service as usually great , instead fried rosemary potatoes I've received boiled potatoes with not even rosemary on it.
It's shame I've experienced this twice in two weeks.
Hopefully something can be done soon.
