Pros +
- Room was clean, I like that there was carpeting, vs a cold feeling laminate. I liked the property architecture aesthetic.
- The location is great. Outside of the centre but an easy stroll to loads of good restaurants. The rooms are good, with a nice design, good showers and comfortable, reasonably firm mattresses. Clearly the hotel has been refurbished and extended in recent years so everything is quite modern.
- The man who checked us in was kind even tho i'd made a mistake on the booking. he gave us chips for a beverage in the bar, which was nice. I'd mentioned in my booking that it was our 50th wedding anniversary but no one said anything *shrug*
Cons -
- OMG, you have to get a stronger, boosted wifi signal - I was CONSTANTLY having to re-connect. my stay would have been so much better if not for that.
- We liked everything but noted that the older rooms don’t have central ac and there is noise in some of the newer rooms from the AC units on the roof. We were uncertain therefore whether we would stay here during hot weather
- having to pay $30 just to park our car
