Great location, very handy to public transport or easy walk to cbd. Decent sized room with a lovely comfortable bed. Quiet room. But the shower was a disaster, there was lots of water but it went everywhere as there was only a very small piece of glass. The main lift were slow to get to the 7th floor

Craig

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Upon check-in staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room we had was of good size and all appointments were good. The only thing I could possibly say could be better was the length of glass in the bath shower. It could have been longer which would limit the amount of water that went on the floor. Bed was very comfortable.
