Nicely remodeled inside. Cool reception and breakfast area with 24 hour tea and coffee. Very friendly reception staff. Excellent food at breakfast. I recommend a Bolt, Uber or Taxi unless you know the way. Especially with luggage. Public transport option is awful. Infrequent bus to Rail junction bus terminal. Winding walk around a poorly lit series of underpasses and entrance is through the TK Maxx mall. Driving or taxi entrance up a ramp and very convenient by comparison. Desk appreciated as well as an extra hour for late check out. Thank you.

We really enjoyed staying there. We could have meal and free coffee and tea in the dining space. There was a microwave and it was useful. We checked out the hotel at 4:30 am but got breakfast bags . All the staff were very nice.

Nice hotel. Well kept, modern and clean. The staff were friendly- asked for extra pillows and this was not an issue. Free hot drinks and cold drinks are a nice addition. The breakfast was tasty and everything was plentiful. It did get noisy during the night due to other guests but otherwise an excellent stay and i highly recommend
