Such a lovely clean new hotel. Great value for money in the heart of the city. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The rooms are cute, comfy bed and nice views. My tv didn't work at all but that was a minor issue. I will definitely stay again. With surge pricing hotels are around the same price for a return uber to the suburbs so we just stay in the city nowadays.
