Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, le petit déjeuner était bon, personnel agréable et quelqu'un s'occupe de garer votre voiture.

Cons:

De la fenêtre le mur d'en face est très proche, mais nous n'avons fait qu'une nuit avant de rejoindre l'aéroport donc ce n'était pas gênant.

Great Getaway
Pros:

Great hospitality from highly professional staff. A beautiful modern hotel with the charm and character of a heritage building. Although there is no parking at the hotel the valet service runs impeccably well. The restaurant was delightful. A great spread at the breakfast buffet as well as exceptional dinner offerings. Every meal here was a joy. A wonderful stay in the CBD. Thank you!
