Good location. Helpful, friendly and courteous staff. Minor repairs needed on some things in the room (window latch, slow draining sink, toilet moved). Food in the restaurant was ok, not great. Otherwise, it was perfectly suited for our needs.

Easily accessible, located near amenities, 25 min walk to Waterfront and 8 min by taxi. Hotel Reception and staff are all eager to help. I engaged with just about everyone from the room cleaners to management and they were all great with a smiley face. The WiFi service is excellent which I was not expecting. You will not spend time in any hotel here since you will not have time to complete your itinerary for there is sooo much to do and see.
