Room we were kindly upgraded to upon arrival was clean & well presented. Bed was very comfortable and hotel location was excellent in the centre of the city. Note: there's no onsite parking, however the hotel has a $10 parking deal available at a local Wilsons Multistory carpark (just need to ask at reception). Staff in the rooftop bar were also very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
