Was literally here for a night and on the outside it didn’t seem like much but the rooms although simple were just what I needed.
Bathroom was really well designed and OMG the shower was perfect!
Oh and the cute guy who gave me my key was a definite bonus

Was a good location for our golf trip. Hotel was nice, and room was clean. My room was above the smokers corner so difficult to have the window open. Hotel served food in the eveniing, but no breakfast facility available and no other optiion close by. Not a problem for us as we got breakfast at the golf courses we went to, but maybe a consideration for others

The first room I was given had not been cleaned; dirty towels no pillow cases: no clean towels dirty. It was rectiy and was given a new room. This is a pleasant hotel at budget price.
If you have mobility issues not good choice.

Balcony room
Everything was very clean and we opted for a room with a balcony which is great when the sun is shining, the downside being that the room was very warm and the only form of ventilation was opening the patio doors onto the balcony. This did not detract from our stay, however, and the staff we met were very pleasant.

Convenient for the city centre.
The hotel was in a gairly good location to the city centre. Only about a 15 minute walk to Union Street.
There was no on site parking but you can park on the side street, close to the reception.
Overall condition of the room was pretty good. The bed was a little uncomfortable, that could just be because of personal preferences.
Bathroom was good but there was quite a lot of mold on the platform next to the shower.
