This property is excellent, friendly staff and easy walking distance to the CBD. The dinner options are excellent, we had an extremely good meal. We would recommend staying here any time and have stayed more than once ourselves.

Excellent stay every time
Love this hotel, have stayed multiple times for work, in a safe quiet area in easy walking distance to town. Staff are alwaysy lovely. This stay I had a funny noisy flappy sound outside my room which I phoned reception about and it was sorted with no interruption within 30mins. Room service options are good- the fried chicken is yum!
