Can't beat this location
With a downtown location like this one, most guests agree that it's a winner. Whatever you need is within walking distance, whether you are looking for a fine dining experience, or a casual eatery. The night life is great, and the shopping is awesome.

No frills, pretty good value
The rooms have been described as basic but clean and uncluttered. All the necessary appliances and amenities are available, and the soundproofing is acceptable. Guests appreciated the amenities that are provided, all at a reasonable price.

A comfortable night's sleep
Most visitors felt that the beds were phenomenally comfortable, linen was crisp and fresh and changed regularly. If you are looking forward to a relaxing vacation, these beds will go a long way to providing you this comfort.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking is inconvenient
The underground parking has caused a number of travellers a couple of headaches. It is farther away from the hotel than most guests originally thought, and getting their luggage from the vehicle to the rooms proved to be a bit of an issue.
negative:
You don't always get what you want
When you book online, you might not get the room you originally reserved. Many guests were frustrated once they arrived at reception to find the double room they booked, had changed into two single beds. You should try to confirm your booking by phone before you arrive.
negative:
A little noisy for some
With the many bars and night clubs close by, several guests complained that they were woken up during the early hours of the morning by late night revellers returning from a night on the town. You should bring along your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.
