This is a nice hotel I happily use for short stays in the area. This is a good choice for me as it is close to the local bars and restaurants, there are some really nice ones there. The hotel is clean and modern and the rooms are quiet and comfortable. They do a nice breakfast. All good for the price.

So accomodating!

Lovely, comfortable one night stay. Staff were very friendly and most accomodating. When they noticed my elderly mother with us, we were offered a more suitable room to accomodate her needs.

The stay at the hotel was excellent very central of all restaurants and the mall. The only disappointment was they didn't offer lunch and dinner available at the hotel restaurant on Saturday. So we had to eat somewhere else. But overall a very nice Hotel.
