Great breakfast Staff very friendly and super helpful and professional. Despite the age of the hotel we were very impressed with the level of comfort. Location is perfect. The area is called The Rocks and it’s very close to major tourist attractions. Close to public transportation which is incredibly efficient and worthy of another great review. In short a hotel highly recommended
