The hotel was undergoing renovation work but our room had been renovated so was very smart other than a cracked top on the free standing bathroom sink unit (which was odd). Very good position for the city and self parking possible on the street outside if you can find a space.

The property looked older than it was. There was a lot of construction going on. The staff was very nice. There seemed to be a lot of homeless people around. Overall, we had a nice stay, but not worth the cost.
