A good choice as the hotel is central. The room was small yet compact. Being so central meant a lot of noise from outside. A good place to spend a night or two.

Accomodation was generally good & peaceful though I felt there was a catch when I was told the room I had initially booked for had no windows & was then offered an upgrade with a window that costed a bit more. Hotel parking was a bit expensive at $25.00 a night when ParkMate nearby was charging just $14.00.
