Conveniently located in central area but not on an overly busy street. Very close by foot to major attractions and right next to City Tram station & several restaurants. Very comfortable room & well-appointed. Friendly & helpful staff. Excellent value for the reasonable cost.

Overall a comfortable stay. Staff were very helpful. Restaurant food was excellent. The only negative is carpet in room is old, threadbare in areas. Peeling paint on ceiling above shower. Takes the shine off the star rating
