Location was downtown and convenient to shopping, dining, lots of pubs, the waterfront and parks for walking our dog (hotel is pet friendly, CA$25). The staff were wonderful. The rooms were modern and very clean but the stairwell and hallways carpeting was in serious need of attention (numerous stains and worn through and torn areas). But it is a budget hotel and I think well worth it. Breakfast was very good with a wide array of cereals, muffins, toast and bagels, yogurts with fresh fruit, egg casserole, hard boiled eggs, juices, coffee/teas and basket of fresh fruit.

This property was conveniently located with very clean comfortable pet friendly rooms. The staff were great and even offered my dog a welcome gift. The only issue I had was the key to room not working quite right, in which the staff were always available to assist me wth. All in all a pleasant stay at this property.
