The location was AMAZING!!! It is situated right at the bottom of Hobson Street. It is very close to the Downtown area. I also appreciated the spaciousness. I had a one-bedroom suite and it was very roomy. I also appreciated having a balcony. It was very nice on days that turned out to be very hot.
The hotplates in our kitchenette did NOT work. There were also several basic kitchen utensils missing. There was some noise from traffic at times. I could hear it in my room.

Wonderful City Stay
early check-ineasy walkclean poolwall marks
The staff allowed an earlier check-in and a later check-out which was helpful. The location provided an easy, safe walk to many destinations. I enjoyed the sauna and the swimming pool, both were very clean and well kept. I also met some friendly residents , it was good.
I noticed several marks on the walls in my room, which detracted from the overall appearance.

The hotel is near the city center. It is convenient for walking to the waterfront and ferries. A separate space with a desk overlooking the street provided a quiet spot for work, and the area safety was good.

The staff was friendly. They efficiently managed both check-in and check-out. Staff also stored luggage in a locked area after check-out, this was really convenient. The assistance was always prompt and courteous.

the room was big, i liked that.
the gym was a real letdown, only one treadmill works, and the weights area is cramped. it's like they just threw some equipment in there without any thought. i expect more when i see that there's a gym, i went to use it and was very frustrated
