Accomodation was generally good & peaceful though I felt there was a catch when I was told the room I had initially booked for had no windows & was then offered an upgrade with a window that costed a bit more. Hotel parking was a bit expensive at $25.00 a night when ParkMate nearby was charging just $14.00.

This hotel is very conveniently located only five minutes walk from Cathedral Square. The staff were very good. The bar was also good, with happy hour every day from 4:00-6:00. The main issue is that the rooms are incredibly small. About 10 m2, with the bed (only a double) enclosed on three sides by walls. It was impossible for the person nearest the wall to get out of bed at night without disturbing the other. Also the bathroom is a quarter circle modular arrangement that is again incredibly small, so it is virtually impossible for two people to be in the bathroom at the same time.
