We had a good stay overall. The room suited exactly what we needed for a quick CBD visit, mainly just a place to sleep. It had nice amenities, a comfortable bed, and a spacious shower, which was a highlight. The room was generally clean, though it could probably do with a more thorough clean in some areas. Parking was limited, but it was secure and ultimately convenient. The staff were all friendly and helpful with check-in/out.
