This hotel is well located for the Parliamentary circle, and parking (paid) is good. The staff were very friendly, but a number were inexperienced and so not as efficient as they may be (breakfast restaurant table clearing, for example). The fitout is nice, but overall the hotel could better maintained - door frames around the room were chipped, and at least two of the service plates on the breakfast buffet had big chips in them.
