A decent enough hotel however, definitely in need of a refresh. The rooms were clean enough and it was fine for an overnight and service waa good, but would expect more given the price paid.
Unsure if we were given the older rooms or if there were better rooms.

Great location in the CBD easy walk to waterfront, shops, cafes and restaurants...also easy stroll to the park for the Festival of Lights.
Bathrooms are a littled dated and showing their age but we're still clean and useable. Beds were comfortable and rooms were a good size.
Would definitely stay again.
