We chose, as normal, based on location and car access/parking, and it didn't disappoint. Close to the CBD and South Bank precinct without having to navigate CBD streets and pay a premium for parking and/or top flight rooms. Walking and public transport options are good, and if you want to go further afield it's not snarled up with traffic (though both driver and passenger should look at the map/route in advance as the route to the main through motorways involve rapid alternate turns).
Everything good you expect from a hotel of this price/rating, with our main negative observations being:
- grotty/dusty extractor vent in bathroom
- public area decor a little tired
- staff working behind the bar need sufficient training in beverage menu and service.
A positive experience. Good for all sorts of travellers.
