a LOVELY stay

higher floor breakfast service secure parking
I requested a room on a higher floor, and i was given a room on the top floor. Perfect! the breakfast service extended to 9 AM. it was a Good surprise. i appreciate the secure underground parking, allowing me to lock my vehicle for two nights. it brought so much peace of mind.
Facilities
9/10
the underground parking provided a secure space for vehicles. a breakfast service ensures a convenient start to the day, with service running until 9 AM for a relaxed schedule, this really helps.
Location
10/10
The hotel is close to the inner harbour waterfront. it also sits next door to the parliament building. this central position allows for easy access to downtown facilities without the need for a car. That is a plus.

good breakfast central location customer service front desk
The included breakfast was good and opened until 10:30 am. the location was great for walking to many of the town sites and restaurants. i loved how central everything was. It.
the staff lacked skills to handle customers. they're always in the office chatting and not in the "front desk". i also noticed they would interrupt to prove their point.
