Short drive to quay street. We selected this hotel because it was close to restaurants and shops, while having air conditioning.

the rooms were clean and spacious so no complaints there. The area is close enough to walk to the main city centre but it does require wallking up a hill. And the staff wasn’t very friendly.

Not a bad walk and staff were great. Restaurant was better than we expected. Easy parking. Rooms a little dated and too dark. Internet access was fine. Not anything right nearby too see or for eating.

The hotel had on-site parking so that was nice. Unfortunately, its not really walkable to the downtown area. You'll need to drive. The room was nice and fairly large.
