I found this to be an excellent experience. My wife had been admitted to Wellington hospital which was just across the road. It was a perfect location for regular visits. The staff were absolutely amazing, super friendly and the room met all my needs. I would highly recommend this hotel particularly for its hospital location.

This was a surprise hotel. From the staff service to the quality of the rooms, it surpassed any expectation that I may have had. I would return for another stay without hesitation. Some of the dining options in the area are a bit limited but the local cafe breakfast options were good.
