Good for a short stay.
Pros:

Quiet, clean and comfortable. The one free drink voucher on check in was a lovely surprise. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Cons:

No security screen door so had to sleep with glass door closed and aircon on all night. I much prefer even being able to open a window for some fresh air.

Pros:

It is in a good location for my needs and having the hotel near helped with food.

Cons:

For $300 per night I would expect that plumbing problems would be fixed quickly. The shower had a constant fast drip of water.
