The room was clean and adequate. The bathroom was nice ( the shower needed fixing) but towels and supplies and blow dryer were wonderful. The valet parking was very nice. The coffee machine was an absolute bonus. We wish it was open in the morning during the week but were pleasantly surprised it was open for an hour Saturday morning as we left. The hotel was lovely plus they saved us when our first hotel had a glitch . Thank you for hosting us.

Very accessible to inner harbour. Room is comfy and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. The only thing I would say is there a quite a number of homeless people around the area, so maybe cautious if you are a female solo traveller.
