Easy to get transport, nightlife & food. Old trendy pub, tidy and clean rooms. But my only negative would be that it has a weird smell coming from bathroom, which it could be due to that fact that the shower properly needs a shower curtin-The water from shower floods the bathroom & wets the carpet near bathroom. (or it might be the drains) ##### Tammy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine 3 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location for our concert at the State Theatre.
