Acceptable stay at central location

great reception decent size on-site parking loud air-con shower issue warm room
The hotel is right in the heart of the main thoroughfare. The reception at check-in was great (natalie was knowledgable!). Rooms are a decent size. private on-site parking is a real bonus.
The air-con was loud. It regularly woke us up during the night as the room would get warm. The shower was really bad. If you didn't want to burn yourself, it was a trickle.

Okay Stay Downtown

quiet room downtown location old remote stiff door
The location was right downtown. This made it easy to walk to restaurants and shops. I was also happy with the quiet room I requested. The hotel accommodated that.
The room seemed like it needed updating. The TV remote was taped together. The batteries would fall out without it. I also had trouble opening the door.
