Nice stay for a business trip.
First stay at this hotel and it was really nice. The rooms and hotel generally were clean, and all was in good order. Not the largest rooms but for one it was fine. They do offer off-street parking but tried twice, on check-in and then after dinner and there was no space. There is all day parking about 30-40 metres away so that wasn't the end of the world. I have one negative or criticism, and that was to do with breakfast where I met a client. We both ordered eggs, but it came with just one piece of bread!! I had 2 fried eggs, and they were scrunched onto just one piece of toast which I wasn't happy about. Seems a bit cheap when you are paying $20 for eggs on toast. If I did stay here again, I would certainly have breakfast elsewhere.

We were on the 1st level, with rooms above us, the occupants upstairs were very noisy, until 10pm. I didn’t like the confinement of the room. We dined at Lola Restaurant, a bit pricey, the food was delicious. However the 2 course special with a Wine or Beer was good value. The car parking is hit and miss as patrons dining at the restaurant take the parking. Otherwise their is street parking meters.
