Mixed feelings. Room was good. Staff very good. But parking at $30 per night excessive, and if you choose the included breakfast option at $32 each, it is really poor value.

Great location. Staff friendly and helpful. Room and view perfect. Unfortunately we were put next to the lift and the noise it made going up and down all evening and then again at around 4am was not great. We were also put in a room with adjoining door ( thin as, no sound barrier) and could hear everything that the person next door was saying and doing. Not much rest was had. If you were after a peaceful relaxing stay it’s def not the place. If you can put up with a bit of noise then may be place for you.

was an awesome stay, we loved all of it. Short walk to the museum and various places to eat. The staff were all so lovely. Breakfast was very good. The mattress and pillows were so comfy I had to check the pillow label before we left, slept like a baby both nights!

We were told to go elsewhere for dining even when they had plenty of tables available. Very disappointed with the service and average overpriced food. Overrated dining.

Room was great - clean and good-sized, and the bed was comfortable. The bar downstairs was nice to have some drinks in after a long day. The location of the hotel is good and walkable to some good restaurants. A bit of construction going on outside which can't be helped and will hopefully finish up soon.
