Nice and central, close to waterfront and shopping. We were able to store our bikes with reception. Parking was a pain as it was on the street or in the parking building down the road and was expensive. Aircon unit in the room was noisy so we could not have it on overnight which meant we were a bit warmer than what we would have liked. When the aircon wasn't working properly the staff had someone up to our room within 10 minutes to fix it which was awesome. Overall, it was a great stay - the staff were great and the rooms were lovely. The restaurant had really nice food too. Would definitely stay again.

7th floor hallway stunk of garlic. Also 7th floor hallway had alot of rubbish on the floor including a tablet. Our room did not have the sofa bed made. A number of the pillows on the sofa where placed around the wrong way. The TV would not pick up any channels. There appeared to be a lack of attention to detail which was disappointing for a $500 room.
