"Great stay. Good location (within an easy 10-15 min walk to the city but far enough away to have nearby free street parking) and exceedingly helpful staff on the front desk. Well designed rooms and comfortable bed. Would recommend."
"Great option, wonderful shared space that provides alternatives to working in your room. Adjacent botanical gardens, character building with history, coffee shop in complex easy walk to city centre. Highly recommended."
