The location was very dangerous at night. I wouldn’t recommend walking even one block. Homeless and prostitutes take over at night. The hotel will make sure you get from your uber to the lobby for safety. The breakfast was inedible. The room was extremely small and not everything worked aa promised.
The staff was very kind, responsive and helpful. The location was fun in the day time with lots of tourist shopping and restaurants.

“Expectations sadly not met.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Parking our vehicle a block away in an public parking area without prior notice, Strong & unpleasant smell in room (too much room freshner spray & not enough fresh air), Upon arrival back at the Hotel at 12:30am we had an attempted pick-pocket in the street directly in-front of the Hotel front door. Understandably this is out of the Hotel's control but what was unacceptable is the main entrance door that was standing wide open at the time without anyone in reception, so the pickpocket or anyone for that matter could have followed us inside the hotel. The after hours security is seriously lacking vs the location of the Hotel in our opinion (as CPT Locals).
Great Breakfast thanks! Friendly and informative staff.

We slept in the caravan on the roof top, which is very original, and very well decorated.
