Pros:

It was perfect for what we needed, my husband and soon had come off a long flight and needed a space to recover from jetlag. It was great to have a kitchen, and although they didn't have some larger pots to make dinner, these were quickly provided.
We had breakfast and dinner x2 in their restaurant and this was good too.
Highly recommend

Cons:

We hired a car, it was on a busy street so parking was not always easy.

Great location, awesome staff
Pros:

We had a great stay, the staff were so helpful, especially Cameron and Beth who were so lovely. The food was awesome, the restaurant was busy every night of our stay. The rooms are a bit dated BUT it was built in the early 1900s so doesn't have the modern fixtures like air conditioning. Our room was a bit warm, we asked for a fan and got one straight away. Overall we had a great experience.

Cons:

The decor of the rooms, however I believe the rooms are currently being renovated.
