A very lovely hotel. Very clean, attentive staff, great kitchenette, bathroom and comfy bed. I would come back to this hotel in a heart beat. It’s also very near the ferry port so not too much driving in town to get to the hotel. Again…. It is very comfortable, clean, efficient and near to everything. Thanks to them for providing such nice accommodations in a busy town.

For a CBD location, this studio is quiet (has sound proofing) and spacious. Parking is just across the road and parks were reserved for us when there was a big game on at the stadium. It has nice extras like the Botanicals shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, nespresso and lollies in reception. It is nicely furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.

A good location to walk around and see the sights. Rooms clean and had everything you needed. Parking is limited and you need to book and pay for a spot if you have a car. Very handy location if you are using Ferries. Good pubs and eateries nearby.
