This hotel is well located, close to restaurants and shopping. Staff are always very accommodating. the only downside is that parking is very limited in the area. The hotel only offers valet parking at $40 per night, so, is very expensive.

Check in - put us in the wrong room not once but twice. Staff werent very helpful and just allocated another room wtihout checking. Was mean to have aa king rom and got 2 x twins and finally got a king which was 2 twins put together with just a sheet on top, so had a very uncomfortable sleep. toilet was all stained and dirty and very small rooms for the price you pay, we will be trying somewhere else next time. Parking guys were amazing ! Restaurant staff were rather rude and to sign in just yelled across the room to sing in, very understaffed and looked like not very well trained. Location was fantastic, great central location just a shame staff couldnt be better supported.

Great location good breakfast

The bar and breakfast were good. The parking situation a bit less so with having valet parking only. But even that wasn't that much of a hassle. Great central location very convenient for the restaurants and a short 15-20 minute walk to the Rugby stadium.
