Hides had an exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. You can order the continental breakfast there, or just sit on the veranda, eating your yogurt from woolies. Super walkable area.

Parking costs extra and is a little tricky but otherwise the hotel was in a great location, had a great balcony to enjoy, and the rooms were nice. If I had it to do over I would not have gotten a rental car and just walked - the location allows for that.

Not the first time I stayed at Hides and definitely won't be the last. I always opt to stay at Hides whenever I'm needing a room in the city area/s. Always my first preference. Although!!! take note of the times for free parking, otherwise that parking spot will chew at your holiday budget!
