It was a decent stay. They were slow to provide room service. We had to ask multiple times for them to finally do it. The walls are also pretty thin so keep that in mind. The location was pretty good as well

i don’t understand the negative hostile reviews; many people leaving scathing reviews are for the rooms they book without a window, which specifically state before booking ‘no window’. duh. I arrived very very late and the night auditor (assuming), was professional, engaging, and fun to talk to at 2am. I had a room upgrade because of the time I was checking in I assume, and it was I believe in Room 520 on the 5th floor, with an amazing view dead center to the Modern Two art gallery. The room was huge and spotless; and I am all over the world 250 times a year in hotels traveling. The only issue is the 10am check m and t tag qout. Say for someone like me who checked in at 2am, it was tough to get ready at that 8:30am

The property was such a 'vibe' honestly, its a relief having a hotel window with a gorgeous view of a forest and river to wake up to! Also, an excellent working shower....not as common as it should be! Can't fault the venue and am so eager to come stay again asap

Was comfortable and clean enough. Fairly well situated for access onto Princess Street. Enough parking spaces. Could do with a few more comfortable chairs for anyone using the bar. It suited my needs for a one night visit.
