Really comfortable bed, clean property, very warm and friendly welcome.
The bathroom was updated and very spacious, great shower. Just a little dark so putting on make-up or seeing details on the face was difficult - maybe they could look to improve the bathroom task-lighting when they next get around to any alterations/updates in future. Overall very positive experience. Parking was also a breeze.

It was perfect for me as I only came home to sleep. Very clean, but quite a small room.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
In a great convenient spot, but was noisy sometimes.

Great location with city views. The staff were really friendly, we were given a free room upgrade which was a nice surprise. Basic but nice breakfast, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals ect. We enjoyed our stay.

Reception was closed on arrival which was during the day but someone came in to help with check in. Disappointed that the booking stated breakfast was included which was one reason for choosing this hotel but was told no breakfast during the week. Room is quite small but clean. Would call it more a shared accommodation situation than hotel - did not see any staff the whole time. Noisy with doors constantly being opened and closed loudly, particularly if sleeping in a room above the exit doors. Adequate for the price and convenient location open space, lightrail, markets etc.

After a 4 hour drive we arrived to no booking despite receiving emails the day before clarifying check in procedures. Had a room but it was not ready. Couldn’t have a shower before a dinner engagement.

Breakfast was only weekends which was misleading when I made the booking. Staff was late one morning and arrived at 10am instead of the stated 9am for staffed hours. It didn't affect me but affected another patron who required some help but couldn't do anything until they arrived.

Finding parking on the street can be iffy.
The room is comfortable, but a bit cramped.
The bathrooms are clean. A bin in the room would have been handy.
Good value for a one night stay in the city.
