The location was perfect for the event we attended. The room was dated and the aircon was old and noisy. The staff were very friendly. It suited our needs. The restaurant was under renovation and not open. The cafe was great for breakfast.

Nice outlook and good location

The room was as advertised. It was clean and had a nice outlook, and the location was great. The A/C is old but worked well; however, it was a little loud. The man at reception was friendly and welcoming. The car spaces on site are small, so if you have a large car, it may be a very tight fit. However, there is plenty of untimed street parking nearby. Would I stay here again? YES.
