Decent hotel. Right next to train stop which is convenient. Our room freshened everyday which was nice (we stayed a week). My only problem is the pool being too small to swim in and breakfast finishing too early at 9.30. Other than that, we had a lovely stay.

This hotel was great. Staff was friendly, breakfast was delicious and there was lots of places to eat nearby. McMahon stadium was also steps away. However, if you want to ensure a parking spot in the lot, or underground, you have to be back at the hotel early as there’s not quite enough parking.

The manager of this hotel is unethical. I was unable to use the room because of a cancelled flight. He refused to refund the cost of the room or issue a credit. Avoid this place at all costs.
