Well finished hotel. It caters specifically to motorcycle people so there’s the associated engine noise but it wasn’t terribly off putting. The bar and restaurant looked nice but we didn’t use them. There also seemed to be other dining a block away we could see out our window. We were there to take our teenagers to The Rave but I would like to return and spend more time in the hotel.
