Good:
* Nice welcome
* Nice size quiet room, clean
* Bath and shower were nice
* Public area's nice
* Secure parking
Not so nice
* Area seemed run down
* Hotel was rebaged Novetel which was visible on the poorly painted side of the hotel
* Room wifi was atrocious - the speed in the bar was 3 times quicker than the room. You would not be able to work from your room - staff dismissive of issue
* New TV with apps but none worked (lack of good wifi in the room) - Staff told us they were awaiting a box to make it work but we have the same TV and it just needs good wifi

clean and comfortable centrally situated and great parking.
Breakfast was too expensive $25 for cereal and fruit.
Hot water was far too hot when you turn the tap on.
Floor flooded from shower. shower curtain really useless.

Excellent location, easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants and shopping. Secure parking is great. Room was clean and well serviced. Beds comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities OK. Bathroom amenities OK. Shower pressure a little low but acceptable. All the basics done well. Would definitely stay again.
