It's a great location and friendly reception staff. You need to book through the hotel directly to get complimentary parking though - not made clear on the WotIf site. Be aware there is building renovation work happening that reduces the number of car spaces and makes manoeuvring into a car space difficult - and can be noisy during the day in the rooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were fundamentally different to the photos - they were dirty (to the point there were dust bunnies on top of the airconditioning unit), in poor condition and with peeling paint. Not the sort of place you go back to if you want to relax. My room was next to the exhaust stack for a next door restaurant, which left it smelling of grease and grill cleaner - I tried turning on the airconditioning, which didn't help, and which inflamed my allergies. I had originally booked for three nights but had to leave after one night - I told the reception staff why I was leaving, but they showed absolutely no interest or concern. Avoid at all costs.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was dusty, the bed was hard, there was no toilet roll holder in the bathroom, and my friend had an allergic reaction to fumes coming into their room via the aircon/vent from a nearby restaurant. The staff member at the reception desk did not seem to care about our experience when we told them about the fumes and that we would not be staying for the rest of the nights booked.
