Hotel was clean, great location, kinda pricey for the shoebox size room. But place was clean, staff very friendly, especially cleaning staff for rooms. Bar and Restaurant in foyer called "Stubby's" was convenient very friendly staff, great chef, great food well priced, children friendly awesome! Only bad point was the size of the shower/bathroom/toilet arra and the terrible sliding door on the bathroom, that offered no privacy from family members. Also TV did not work and i couldnt even mirror my phone screen as it wasnt a smart TV. CMON GUYS!

Easy to walk to the train station, and the city centre. Room is spacious and clean enough. Just my room is facing the street and the train rail, which might be a little problem for those who need extreme quiet place to sleep. Overall it is a really nice accommodation for its price.

They claim to have parking, but this is a paid parking lot off site. It is provided at a discounted rate, and not 'just 5 minutes walk' from the hotel. It took about 10 minutes, with my bag and constantly having to stop at Red lights to cross the road.
