Pam, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room and bed are always 'spot on' very comfortable, great range of programmes on TV including movies. Staff are lovely. I stay in the smaller rooms, the bathrooms are tiny and a bit old fashioned - but I spend only 10 mins in there - I always rebook when I have to stay in CBD for work. Parking is great, location is excellent
