Wonderful service. The breakfast let the hotel down. There wasn't enough when we arrived and it didn't taste the best-very watery eggs. Our dinner the night before though was delicious.

Comfortable hotel in the business district, but a little dated and rather basic amenities. No USB ports in the room, no lamps. Good breakfast buffet.

I usually stay at a nearby hotel but gave the James Cook a go. I was certainly not disappointed as the room was spacious, clean, modern and in a great city location. I got room service one night and the food was tasty and piping hot. I didn’t try the restaurant or bar (lobby bar is currently closed). Overall, great vslue for money.
