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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.
