The location is great. It is within walking distance of everything. The room was spacious and I slept well. There are many options available for breakfast.
Some young staff seemed untrained. The service was slow, even when the bar was not busy. I noticed staff members bickering among themselves.

Location of hotel is central. My room was spacious and clean. Alison was friendly and cute. Free parking existed right outside the hotel.
Bar and restaurant service seemed poor. Staff seemed to talk together instead of serve. I had to get my own menu. It took 10 mins to take my drinks order despite many staff.
