Pros:

The room was okay, but small and had only one chair. For the price we expected more.

Cons:

Parking in the underground carpark was disappointing. There were no designated bays. On returning from a function there were no spare bays, so we had to park on the street. With all the nightlife in the area, we felt this was unsafe.

Does the job for an easy night’s stay!
Pros:

Very friendly staff, easy to park, central location and the room had all the essentials.

Cons:

Room decor was a bit outdated and it smelled like a hospital. Additional cushions on the bed & a runner for presentation would help it make it feel more homely.
