Fantastic staff.
Guests will be able to look forward to great customer service when staying at this hotel. The members of staff take their jobs very seriously, and are all very personable, friendly, and ready to lend a helping hand whenever a guest may need it.

Avoiding the noise.
When guests are looking to get away from the city noise, but wish to remain close enough to be within walking distance of wherever they may need to be, this hotel offers them the near perfect option. The city CBD is within a 30-minute walk, but is away from city traffic noise.
positive:
Well handled events.
Any events being held in the conference centre have been handled very well. Guests have found when they have attended any such event, that the management behind the event has proven to be expert, and given a smoothly run experience.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Older building.
This building is a little on the older side, and guests have noticed that some maintenance issues caused a dampener on their stay. some updates or renovations would do a lot to improve the overall outlook on one's stay at this hotel.
negative:
Noisy rooms next to lifts.
If any guests are particularly sensitive to noise, they had best not book the rooms surrounding the elevator. The noise can be quite distracting, and guests have found the constant running of the machine to disrupt their sleep.
negative:
Not suitable for larger cars.
For those arriving by car, especially larger vehicles, will find that the secure parking is a little difficult to maneuver, and become quite bothersome. These guests had best source parking elsewhere to avoid any frustration difficult parking may cause.
