This place is ideally located. Service is good. Rooms were comfortable. No issues with accommodation. We didn't think too much of the breakfast. Only ate their once. The Bain Marie was not at the correct temperature, so all the food was Luke warm. I recommend you order freshly cooked eggs as you are guaranteed a hot meal. Not a lot of fruit choices. Jam in jars was not labelled, I saw a few people pick jars up & smell the jam - not hygienic. Most of the condiments were empty, so guests were having to ask for new bottles of sauces. Staff a bit slow to clear tables as well.

I have never felt more ripped off staying anywhere in my life... Over $400 for one night, couldn't check in until almost 2 hours after check in, our booking request was fully ignored, the room has instant tea and coffee facilities but no mugs or spoons... Absolute zero frills rooms. I have had more enjoyable stays at budget hotels. 1 star for location because inner city parking costs are not included and we were poorly informed of this, over $50 for our stay.
