Well located hotel, close to the attractions, being able to do everything on foot. Very good area for restaurants and shops. Safe and quiet. It also has a stove, microwave, toaster and coffee maker, useful amenities so you don't want to go out at night to eat.

The staff is very friendly. The room was very clean. We did the breakfast buffet and it was really delicious and had a lot of options to choose from. We arrived very early in the morning and the staff brought our suitcases to a secure room till our room was ready. The room was available earlier than announced. We also had dinner in the hotwl restaurant and it was very good.

Staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to get a late check out which was much appreciated. The hotel and room were clean, the bed was very comfortable. Someone on previous review said the towels stank and I found that to be true. I like the old building. Location was ok. 4 or so blocks from the Sky Tower.
