Liked: Cleanliness
It wasn't too bad. It wasn't obvious at first where the reception was. I wasn't overly impressed with the location, but I obviously wasn't that bothered. It's not too far away from the Square, so I'm reasonably happy even if it felt a bit isolated. Don't like being next to a TAB but it didn't intrude on my stay so it all evened out
