Great place. Would have given it 5 stars but there was no air conditioning leaving the room warmer than I like when I sleep.

We stayed in the penthouse apartment. This was a real treat. It was stunning with a great kitchen, lots of space for everyone and comfortable beds. We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book this again.

First great location, secondly staff brilliant, third the underground car park. Refurbing front door, was inconvenient but not the worst. The bathroom was a little dirty. It can be very noisy (even on 4th floor)

The Room was incredibly warm and humid, despite the hallway and outdoors being significantly cooler. Window didn’t open more than a cm, bathroom fan didn’t work— creating a very unpleasant warm and humid bedroom. Black mildew on shower curtain, towels felt cheap and hardly dried. Building also going through a renovation which was not made known to us until arrival. Day two of our stay had the strong smell of spray paint and our room even smelled of it into the wee hours of the night. Certainly will not be staying here again!

Good location

The hotel was a little difficult to navigate, however our room was lovely (even with the noisy bird outside the window). The room was a bit small, but the bathroom roomy. The reception area was too small—not convenient for several people to stand to check in. My husband enjoyed the restaurant and bar. Hotel was in a great area. Easy walk to downtown. The Jungle Cafe across the street was a delicious breakfast choice. Free parking is offered.

I’d like to give it 5 stars but can’t. Offered an upgrade at registration and took it. But the upgrade was in an ally with too much middle of the night and early morning delivery and work noise. Plus the parking outside the apartment was not reserved for the unit. It rained and we had to walk from the main building. What should have been the designated space was used by deliveries playing their radios loud. Not an upgrade! Otherwise almost everything else was fine. Fix this or alert your guests please.
