Great staff and Restaurant - Very loud and noisy
Staff and restaurant were great!
Very noisy hallways, paper thin walls and loud homeless / drug people on walkway near hotel. These bums had their own speaker playing bad music that was heard late at night through windows. Noise woke me up a couple nights.

Well equipped and comfortable accommodation
Super convenient and well appointed hotel that is committed to ensuring their guests are looked after. Beds were comfortable and lovely look out onto tree lined river. The only (minor) downside was the level of noise that carried through from hallway and the plumbing from adjoining rooms.

The first room.was well below 4.5 star and was dissapointing - cracked vanity, incredibly noisey, no proper ventilation in bathroom , and lacked privacy ( cleaning staff walking past front windows and looking in). We moved upstairs and were very happy with the second room - where decor was way better and had a quality feel. We kinda had to push to get a room change and had to pay extra - but so glad we did. We get annoyed advertising photos don't match what we find on arrival.
