Great location by the Square so able to walk everywhere. Close to many eateries, a movie theatre, bus terminal and shopping areas. View was over the street but the hotel was quiet and modern. Large bedroom area and shower but a bit cramped in the bathroom area. Helpful staff. Had a huge breakfast there one morning.

Great place for 1 person stayer, heaps of space, very tidy, reception were polite and easy going. Only thing I’d say wrong is the room has almost too much empty space in it but overall nothing is wrong it. I’d give it a 5.
