Really central, great staff and we received a free upgrade. Lower score only because the lifts are under refurbishment and the area around the hotel has some construction.

Got "upgraded" upon checkin. Only difference between the two room was the complimentary water. Same size, same facilities etc. Had booked the orginal room for the bath which we didnt have in the new room. Pretty gutted. Room was noisy. Some air con or fan or something that we couldnt turn off. Sounded like pipes banging at 1am. Could hear the people next to us everytime they opened the door and curtains. Pretty poor sleep due to all this. Checked out early to go home. Room was tidy, there was what looked like sticky drink or something on the wall, broken bits of soap under the chair. Not overally impressed with the noise and the upgrade essentially being a downgrade. Glad it was only the one night we stayed.

We felt $60.00 was too much to get the car parked each time. Paying our bill was a muddle due to the fact we had made a deposit but it was not returned for several days, Tea making in room poor with nowhere to put used teabag without dripping it on the carpet!
