Only good thing staying here is its pretty much located at the heart of the city. Facilities, staff and room is ok. Downfall is loud music coming from the bar downstairs (until like 3am).

Great location

Pros: Location
Cons: Was told there was free parking outside on the weekend but ended up getting a parking fine on the Saturday.
Location: Was there for ironman so great location and ease of getting around, facilities, restaurants etc nearby & easy walk to event.
Great location but very noisy being over a bar. Music played until around 2.30 am. Staff were great on arrival and room was quite adequate for what I required and for price. Easy walk to ironman event and shops, restaurants etc.
