The location is wonderful for eclectic shopping, eating and sights. The hotel needs updating but some of the older amenities could be the charm. The hot tub has not had water in it for a long time and the pool is small and unheated.

The property is getting old and needs a refresh. Carpets are worn out and stained, as are the walls and the rooms smelled like musty mold. The hot tub was out of order, with no information if they were trying to fix it. The price is high for what’s inside, you are paying for the convenience to many attractions.

Budget friendly hotel in city center

You are paying for the location of this property. Amazing view of Opera House and Bridge on rooftop. Rooms are a bit dated. Had noise outside my room from 9-930pm (sounded like power washing). The way rooms are situated along perimeter of hotel I awoke to the sound to clanging silverware and dishes during breakfast hours. Great restaurants in this pricer neighborhood. Location is a good point for visiting various attractions at a resemble price.
