Loved the service and friendly staff. Although we had a room on the top floor, there was quite alot of noise through the night from roadworks below. Not much the hotel can do about that but was just something to note if you are a light sleeper.

The room and bed are always 'spot on' very comfortable, great range of programmes on TV including movies. Staff are lovely. I stay in the smaller rooms, the bathrooms are tiny and a bit old fashioned - but I spend only 10 mins in there - I always rebook when I have to stay in CBD for work. Parking is great, location is excellent
