The best thing about this hotel is definitely the location. Its between the waterfront and main shopping areas and a few minutes from the station. Its also only a 10-15 min walk to the Sky Stadium if you've got a rugby game to watch. Now as for the hotel itself, very disappointing. I was in room 802 which felt very unloved and had a broken AC. Housekeeping didn't clean the room until very late in the afternoon which was very frustrating when after a long day out you just want to come back and relax. The second issue was the lack of working AC. Being the weekend they apparently weren't able to call out the technicians and an offer to be moved wasn't made until 2 days after I'd reported the issue. I was moved to a different room which though of the same standard in terms of room type was far superior. The pool was fine though probably becaise it was empty. Its really only big enough for 2 to comfortably do laps. Reception staff were great, very friendly, helpful and professional. Unfortunately my experience has put me off using this chain in other areas.

Excellent choice

It was clean and quiet. The lap pool was the right temperature and a pleasure to use for a morning swim. The restaurant Portlander downstairs was quite good. Service was excellent throughout the hotel.

Nice and charm stay!!

The location is perfect. The hotel is walking distance to the train station and Queens Wharf. I loved the view from room. I enjoyed my stay in the hotel. Only observation about the cleaning service didn't restock the shower gel and I had to call to request some.
