Pros +
- location
- Its city centre location
- This hotel was fabulous! The staff, the room the amenities. I wish I could have stayed longer.
Cons -
- worse place for vegetarians. at $---- a night BKFST you would think they would give you better menu - not friendly staff and no customer service.
- The premium double room was ok but small with tiny bathroom I would have described it as standard rather than premium
- Bar service and the wait time for simple cocktails was not great. A slight lack of attention to detail
