Fast and easy check-in, rooms are clean and have everything you need. Beds might need an up grade as very soft and felt well used. It was a bit noisy with outside traffic but that's to be expected in the area which is close to lots of restaurants.

We were in room 822 , on the esplanade and it was extremely noisy. Trucks going past constantly all night. First night we were lucky to get 4 hours sleep. Beds are probably at a point where they need to be upgraded. Staff were lovely and our room was extremely clean. Lots of carparks. I would suggest if you stay, forget the view and get a room around the back.
