Very friendly helpful staff and clean well presented hotel. Easy walk to bars and restaurants as well as having a good choice of dining options in the hotel. A shame we didn’t know about parking being $25 a night until we had actually checked in and already parked.

Nice location walking distance to Octagon, Railroad station, and bus stops. Rooms well appointed. No Air-conditioning - however windows open and the night air was comfortable even in January. Particular enjoyed 2 meals in their pub. Be warned that most places are closed Sunday evening; hence our second meal!
