Liked being in the business district...felt safe. Also, it was within walking distance of several light rail stops which was convenient. Also, there is a Starbucks directly across from this hotel which was a bonus to me!

We stayed a few nights in the school holidays and it was so well located for kids and parents alike. There are interesting price varied eating options, it's a fun city atmosphere in a safe family friendly area. So close to everything you need. The Novotel itself was wonderful. great rooms, great staff and having your bed made up and reset was superb - why we love hotel treatment.

Over priced
The hotel has different kinds of rooms and there seems to be no difference in price but it made the difference between my daughter’s room having a water bottle and hot tea and mine not. The bed was uncomfortable and there was no where to put your clothes if you wanted to unpack except 4 hangers in the closet. You’re paying for the location and that’s about it. The breakfast at the hotel was $38/ person and though it’s a buffet, that seems a bit much.

Small, but stylish and functional
Hotel is in a top location, so close to many restaurants. Rooms are small, but beautifully designed and furnished. We had what they call an executive suite overlooking the Chinese Gardens, but it’s not really a suite, it’s a small room. Has everything you need for a short stay.
