10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the classic family suite, great for 4 people - each kid had their own bed, and the parents are in the large separate bedroom. The location is perfect, with a short walking distance to popular places, such as Riverside Market, and not a long walk to the Botanic Garden. The staff were very friendly and helpful - great experience.
