"It’s a smoothly run, great value-for-the-money operation, situated on a quiet Victorian street...simple guest rooms are tastefully decorated in earthy oatmeal or cream with brocade-pattern bedspreads."

"Only a few steps from O'Connell St, this solidly three-star hotel is part of the Best Western group and as such offers the kind of comfortable, if unmemorable, night's sleep associated with the brand."
