"The parking was the only difficulty - finding the actual car park, and organising the parking permit. Better info should have been sent via Hotels,com. Staff at the hotel were extremely helpful, and dealt with all other issues effectively."

Great boutique hotel
"This is a great little boutique hotel. The staff was wonderful - very helpful in advising us in what we should see around town. The location was great, an easy walk to just about everything. No elevator, so if you can't handle stairs it might be a problem."
