Hotel is in great location - walking distance to all restaurants, cafes, bars and mall. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Paying extra for the secured car park is well worth it. Great for 2-3 nights stay.

The room I was in felt like it had 'emergency housing' people staying next door which did not feel very safe.
