Positive Reviews

Convenient location near attractions
Probably one of the most appealing features of this hotel according to previous guests is its central location. Despite some background noise, guests have enjoyed staying in the downtown district and have noted the proximity of attractions as well as shopping and dining.
positive:
Clean and spacious guest accommodation
Overall, guests have rated the standard of the rooms here highly. Some have found them rather minimalist but in a good way and many have described the accommodation as clean and surprisingly spacious for a downtown hotel.
positive:
Good standard of service from staff
While it would be misleading to say that every guest has had a great experience with the staff here, the majority have found the service is friendly and attentive. Despite some poor experiences, it does seem unlikely that you will encounter any disappointment in this area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some noise concerns
Aside from background noise from the street, guests also mention that they found the walls between rooms rather thin. Also, a number of reviews indicate that the bathroom fans and plumbing are noisy.
negative:
Extra costs for parking
It's not all that surprising to be charged extra for parking at a downtown hotel. However, guests have found the valet parking fee here is high, often recommending that people use a public facility across the street instead.
negative:
Occasional disappointment at breakfast
Although many guests have enjoyed their breakfast here, two aspects of this amenity seem to be a source of regular disappointment. Firstly, guests have found the choices on the menu are limited. Also, the cost of the food appears to be on the high side.
