If you aren't bothered by second-hand smoke, and are fine with two single beds pushed together, for then there is a lot to like about this property.
Located in a park, with close access to a bus and on to tram or rail, this hotel was generally quiet and clean. The washroom was clean and serviceable - shower water pressure was not high, but got the job done and the water was hot.
Unfortunately, the deluxe double room is listed as suitable for 3, and the Expedia listing claims "1 queen-size bed". This is not true, at least for room 17 - instead, you get two singles pushed together with a comforter on top!
The hotel is listed as smoke-free (at least inside), which is accurate. Unfortunately, it is clear the hotel was not always smoke free. As someone sensitive to second-hand smoke, the experience was quite unpleasant. I think it was in the box spring, or the carpeted headboard, as with the windows open all day the room generally was fine, but sleeping was not.
While there doesn't appear to be AC, the windows do open, and there is a sun shade over them, so we didn't have a problem with temp overnight.
It's a shame the advertised bed was not true, and that the hotel had old smoke in the fixtures - otherwise, would have been a lovely place. And if you don't mind these two drawbacks, it could be a good choice for you.
(There was also unexpected construction that started loudly at 8.30 one of the days)
