"Nice place to stay if you love the cbd and the surrounding things to do within the cbd. I walked pretty much everywhere (outskirts as well) and the city is just a wonderful things to experience from outside (not in a car). The location of hotel is great because the tram is literally right across the street while travel supplies (toiletries) is found in a store about a block away (less than a 10 minute walk). Bars and restaurants are close by too."
