 "Centrally located, this hotel looks worn around the edges and smells of smoke, but is popular with package tourists and airline crew." 
 "Rooms are well-equipped and comfortable, and rates are often as cheap as anywhere in town unless there’s a big exhibition or conference on." 
 "Always popular, this big tower has a cracking central position in Downtown and friendly staff, making it a solid option" Full review
