"VIP Members - if you are a VIP Member and as this hotel offers a VIP special offer (ours was a $25 food/drink voucher) the reception staff did NOT want to give us our entitled voucher as they had nothing on their system, we had our itinerary with the VIP special offer on which we showed to the receptionist but still would not give us a voucher we were entitled to… it was embarrassing while other guests came and went and after saying it was NOT fair etc the receptionist finally and reluctantly gave us a voucher, Thank You but we should not have to waste soo much time sorting this out - just for warning if you are entitled a voucher or special offer to make sure its on your reservation booking/before you arrive & that it’s on their system/end - the food drink voucher is for the Library Cafe a few minutes walk away which is excellent - room 6 in this hotel just to warn you did not have a view from the window apart from a wall directly outside, we were quite disappointed but as we were tired as we had been up since 4am to catch the ferry we could not be bothered to change rooms and have yet another confrontation with reception staff - see photo of the view - it is a nice hotel and we would recommend but with a few issues sorted before arriving…… a supermarket a bout 5 minutes walk away, plenty of restaurants/cafes, a nicer tea and coffee brand would have been better but we usually take our own anyway - super hot water - good toiletries - great location…"

"It's a place that had a hip vibe in the lobby and a fantastic deal for the all you can eat breakfast (pay extra). The location is great in downtown and very near to the bus station. We got a room with a view/window, and had to laugh since the window was about 3ft x 4ft. We ended up keeping the blinds down since other rooms were adjacent to our windows, and we could wave at our neighbors and see more details than we wanted. The bed was comfortable and the temperature was comfortable as well. Large TV. The place you hang your coat at is immediately above the coffee station. After I hung my coat, I looked at it and realized that it wasn't great since it now covered the kettle, cups, etc. Be careful when you remove your coat, as it might snag the cups. The table it's self was tired and worn. It had moisture bubbles and chips on the edges that were painted over. The walls were thin. I could hear the showers and toilets of our neighbor. The bathroom was tight for my 6ft husband (wide shoulders) to be on the toilet. But for me, at 5ft, I was fine. The shower space was comfortable. As long as we kept the bathroom door open (which slides along an arch), the bathroom was fine. The staff was super friendly with ready smiles. The all you can eat breakfast was an awesome deal. Pastries, fruit, grain cereal, pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, hashbrowns, tomatoes, yogurt, milk, juice, coffee, tea, breads, and spreads. In all, I'd return. "
