Place was an absolute scam, the staff were rude and badmouthed, the management talked to you like ur lower class and the rooms were tiny. From the moment I pulled into the car park I regretted my decision and walking into the reception confirmed that regret.

We felt fortunate to get an upgrade, however we were on the 5th floor and the street noise was loud, and sometimes frightening with horns and alarms going off We asked for 2 separate beds but got 1 big bed. The bed was comfortable. The shower leaked water all over the floor which was hard to clean up without more towels

The hotel was in a convenient location for the theatre precinct. However, there was an issue with only having one very slow lift. On our last day we couldn't get down from the thirteenth floor and no one had contacted us about why the lift was out of action. Also, the front steps would be problematic f a young woman with a bag that she could not carry up the stairs.or older people or people with heavy bags. My husband had to help
