I wasn't sure about how quiet the room would be given this is pub accommodation and from previous experience, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Although the music was incredibly loud and you could hear in the halls of the accommodation, the room was well insulated from the noise with minimal sound of music coming in. The air conditioning worked well, however, the only downside for me if not being able to access fresh air. All in all, it was great accommodation in a great location, would definitely stay here again.

The property is an old hotel which has been redone quite nicely, over a busy pub. The room was small but nice, with a balcony overlooking a busy street. There was internal painting going on during our stay, which left quite a strong smell in the hallways. We were a bit surprised not to be warned of this when we checked in. Also surprised with the $10 charge to store bags. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

This hotel offered a perfect location for the reason for our visit, the light rail stop across the road. A stroll to local restaurants and shops. The restaurant offered good food and a pleasant atmosphere. Staff were terrific

Do not stay here. The couple in the room next door had a violent dispute that lasted two hours. No security on site - it was unsafe. Would not recommend nor stay again.

Great place to stay, excellent bar & food. Staff were wonderful & room quiet & comfortable. The only problem was I couldn’t work out the air conditioning which would go off during the night (probably some economy setting that was too techno for my brain! ). All in all a great stay.
