The room included a little couch. It was great. The hotel staff was very cute. Breakfast was good. It had scrambled eggs, tomatoes, pastries, fruit, cereal, bread, fresh coffee, and fruit juice.
The hallways echoed and I could hear everyone moving about. The pillows were terrible. The shower constantly dripped a lot.

Fantastic Stay!

The location offered convenient access to various attractions. I found the free street parking quite convenient. I enjoyed the spacious roomwith two double beds and a sofa pull-out bed. The pool was a definite highlight. It provided a refreshing escape from the heat.
The room facing the courtyard was occasionally noisy during morning hours when staff were actively performing their duties.

this hotel was fine for my brief stay. it is pretty central to restaurants. the breakfast provisions were good (especially the coffee!). reception staff were friendly and helpful. i liked how they called us a taxi for the airport.
i noticed my iron had obviously been dropped and was chipped across the top. i didn't notice it at first, but it caused my clothing to become snagged.

I appreciated the spacious bathroom in my room. It had two separate sinks. A rainfall shower was also a nice feature. Breakfasts offered a satisfactory selection of items each morning in its own room. Staff members I interacted with were cheerful. The hotel is quite close to the waterfront. It was only three and a half blocks away.
The on street parking was a bit limited.

I Needed help with my luggage but no one offered assistance. The receptionist said it was not her job to carry luggages, leaving me to manage everything on my own up the stairs. I found this unhelpful. There was a clear lack of support.

the area around the hotel felt unsafe at times. undesirable people frequented it, particularly in the early evening. next door was an aboriginal hostel, and people often lay across the pavement. this made it not quite the place i wanted to spend a holiday at.
