We had a great stay. Howey was well located and so close to everything. Room was big enough for us 3 and we will definitely be back.
Only downsides was there was no sink/microwave in the ‘kitchen’ area and our room was covered in finger/toe nails that obviously hadn’t been vacuumed up properly.

A great location
The Howey provides the best location to stay in the City. With access to shopping, great food and walking distance to many attractions. It is locatif within the free team zone. It is tucked in an arcade and is easy to find. The reason I only have 3 *** for cleanliness is because towels had a smell and often stained. Bedding was also stained and dust accumulation in corners of the room.

Great hotel. All the staff we met at the property were very friendly. The room was lovely. The only thing I found was the tv switching channels or just not connecting. But we weren’t there to watch tv. Great location, central to everything we needed.
