The stay was comfortable in general except toilet. Unfortunately the toilet in our 6th-floor room did not flush well. Additionally it is not a fault of the hotel but the parking was little bit challenging for the foreigners. We have to pay the parking fee by smartphone application which could not be installed to foreigner's smartphone.

Issue with room being set as a double and not twin, A/C noise and didn’t cool the room, night club in close proximity had extremely load base music until 2am at least. Hotel was very clean, but access to car park poorly exploded, staff made every effort to correct the issues within their control.

Amazing James.

1 night stay. Was really good. James on the desk was amazing. So helpful. Only downfall was they only had 1 lift in operation and as my Daughter was in a wheelchair we had to use lift but so did most of the guests who could have used the stairs. Breakfast was lovely with a good selection.

I wish I had something good to say. The hotel is in drugsville, not at all pleasant to walk around. The reception service was slow. The lift (singular) was tiny and only arrived every 10 minutes. The room was okay. The bar service was non-existent (the receptionist was also the barman and the chef). The breakfast experience was terrible, with dirty cutlery, missing crockery, broken coffee machines and missing breakfast items. Shame, I normally find this chain perfectly bland and acceptable.

The room is clean and comfortable, though dim and limited in hanging space. Just nice for 1 pax. Bed and pillows make perfect sleep. Happy that 1 lift was working throughout my 2 night stay as the hotel had pre-warned the day before that the lifts are out of order. Breakfast was good with sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, baked beans, croissants, white and brown bread, cereal, milk, yogurt, hot drinks, fruit juice, fruits, etc.

It's OK but the lift is awful, so slow, 45 minutes to get the lift down & up to 6th floor. Air-conditioning really bad on the 6th floor, moved to 2nd & so much better. Breakfast good but 2nd day ran out of nearly everything.

Comfortable clean room but misleading car parking

Very comfortable bed in a clean room. Staff were friendly and I was quite satisfied with the breakfast. The one negative was the car parking. An email said there is limited parking onsite but you could go on the Sheppard street car park nearby with a discount code the hotel would provide. I turned up and the member of staff said that the discount code had not been working for some time and I would have to pay full price as it was not owned by the hotel. This is contrary and misleading to the email that was sent out.

Poor Stay

Rooms were clean, however they were freezing cold. The problem was reported, but nothing was sorted. Shower was cold. Breakfast was very disappointing. Soggy Hash browns, Coffee machine worked intermittently, Powder scrambled eggs, Orange juice dispenser didn't work., Only one lift working and very slow, Toilet flushes were not efficient in rooms. Overall, very poor.

Not for wheelchair users

Dispite that my mother is in wheelchair and we were put on 5th floor. Next morning lift was out of order. We were stuck for 2 hours. I went down to reception by the back stair way to find out what was happening. Lift was out of order and two staff was very helpful to get things going by ringing maintenence to come and fix it. Nice hotel but not for wheelchair users although there is accessibility to entrance but not to reception which is on upper ground floor. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms are nice and clean
