    The a twin room was newly decorated and stocked with a view. The location was favourable, within easy walking distance of Town Basin Marina. The main shopping center and a market were right next door.

    As for me, the area was horrible.

    I was upgraded to a great-sized room on really short notice. The location is great and perfect, just off restaurants and shops. The hotel is situated near the town basin for shops and the river.

    The rooms are large and the hotel is in a good location, just a 5-minute walk to downtown. I loved that it was right next to the Vale Rd bus station. The beds were really comfortable.

    The hotel is just a short walk to the town center and marina. the room was nicely refurbished. - the parking was onsite. - My room included its own balcony and soundproofing. - I had tea and goodies at Fat Camel, which is located just 1 mile from the hotel.
