Liked: Amenities
We were told on check-in that we might not get parking that night due to nearby markets . That turned out to be true. Yet, there are signs around the car park saying No Unauthorised Parking. Obviously this is not enforced. We had to give our car rego upon check-in and there were rules about one vehicle per room. Yet, the general public are allowed to park in the car park. The shower water pressure was Terrible. And the further we turned the tap towards hot water, the worse the pressure was. So it was either a hot dribbly shower or a cold shower.

Overall a great little room in a good location. At present they are doing some renovations and this may have affected the lack of internet in our room on the 3rd floor for the whole of our stay. We advised the front desk early in our stay but nothing changed. There was wi-fi available in the foyer.
