Pretty good- didn't get much sleep personally, as there was a-lot of noise and doors slamming till 3am. So if you want somewhere peaceful & quiet and a deep sleep wouldn't recommend here for this. Otherwise it was great on every other level! Thanks

Love the 20s-vibe of the furnishings and the vastness of its rooms - even the smallest room has space for an extra bed or two! The larger rooms are like a suite! And being central its great for restaurants and cafes just outside the door. This is our go-to hotel in the Tron every time :)

The street parking is frustrating theres no close ones especially if you get there about 5pm so you might want to pay for parking at vr. Rooms are clean property could do with a makeover a few broken things in room but for a bed for the night it works and its cheap close to casino and food variety down atreet is fantastic
