Friendly staff and nice room. A little pricey for a chain hotel that is just far enough away from Eyre square to necessitate knowing the area/transit system unless you're good with taxis.

Everything was great. Staff was amazing. Restaurant was very good and not overpriced. About 15 min walk to Eyre Square. One issue: NO storage in room other than closet. No drawers. If you a staying a few nights, be prepared to live out of your suitcase. Kudos to lovely, helpful staff.
