The rooms were large, very clean & well maintained, although the bathrooms could do with better ventilation (there was a sign in the bathroom saying you would be fined $2000 if the steam from your shower set off the smoke alarm - isn't this more a hotel problem, not guests?!).
The foyer & restaurant - while very clean & well maintained - looks a little dull & dated.
Staff were friendly & helpful.
Great location in the city with plenty of restaurants & tourist spots / sights nearby.
