The hotel was lovely overall. Unfortunately, the room next door was a bit noisy at night, which made it a little hard to get a good night’s sleep. That said, the staff were very professional and friendly, which really made the stay enjoyable.

Basic comfortable room, however no cutlery for eating delivered/takeout meals. Facility clean and inviting. Unfortunately walls are thin and the neighboring room had very noisy guests, who laughed and spoke loudly all night and early the next morning, making it hard to get a good night rest.

Couldn't fault the staff, cleanliness or amenities. For the price, it's a great value option. The parking charge is too steep but it's possible to free-park on the street only a few hundred metres away.
