This hotel is just OK. The rooms are quite small. The staff is sometimes friendly but oftentimes not. The cafe attached food quality is pretty poor. You are given a $16 voucher when you check in to use at the cafe, which is fine, but its always disappointing. Will not stay here again.

At check in I was given an accessible room which I did not reserve then a 2 bedroom room since there were no King beds available. I would have booked somewhere else if I would have known this. I would not stay here again.
