This is a very good hotel, close to the CBD, light rail and the waterfront. The rooms are very quiet and there is good on-site parking available (extra cost). It is within walking distance of the city, but there is only a few cafes, restaurants nearby. Breakfast is included in the charges, but meals and bar are available at other times.

Perfectly located for my business needs. Didn't like the glass walls in the bathroom--looked amazing, but lit up the room when one of us used the bathroom during the night!

This hotel is well appointed and within walking distance of the CBD and also close to the waterfront. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Cutlery is only minimal - mugs and teaspoons, so not convenient to have meals delivered. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is good fr one night or several.
