"Great location, an easy walk to St Finbar, the English Market and all the CBD stores. The NRG Gym was really good though the weekend hours open a little late for me. The restaurant and lobby lounge bar were really good, lots of choices at reasonable prices. My only complaint was the parking. On check in we had to circle the lot for 30 minutes. We would gladly stay here again though."

"Lovely older property with character- this means it is not modern and perfect. If you find this kind of thing charming, this is the place for you. Our room was spacious, quiet and not overheated.

"This was a beautiful, historic hotel. I did appreciate the size of our room. The only problem we encountered was we had to circle around until there was an opening for us to pull our car in to drop off our luggage and the car park is a bit of a walk away. I would definitely stay here again though."

He offered assistance by directing traffic and pointing us in the right direction when we left. The room was huge with an amazing view. My only suggestion is that if there was a safe in the room we couldn't locate it. Thank you, and we hope to come back."
