"The location is perfect. The hotel is walking distance to the train station and Queens Wharf. I loved the view from room. I enjoyed my stay in the hotel. Only observation about the cleaning service didn't restock the shower gel and I had to call to request some."

"The room was fine, very clean and comfortable but no window! Hotel clerks did not alert us to included buffet breakfast; they said we had to pay. I found out by accident it was included. They said we had to pay for a room upgrade. Location is great, but the area is a bit sketchy."
