Nice hotel for families
My first time staying at the Dorsett. I choose the hotel for the proximity to an event we were attending. The hotel albeit for its location was a 4 star budget hotel for families and backpackers.

Dorsett stay recommended
Chose an internal “courtyard” room to avoid any early morning city noise. Room was quiet , didn’t hear a thing.
Comfy bed , room clean and would definitely stay again.
Nice to have a hotel pool that is warm enough to swim.
Staff on check in were very friendly and informative.
