Bathroom due for an upgrade, and bed needs replacing

Best place I've ever stayed in.

I liked the big windows and facing north. The room was very clean and the hotel too. The room size was good, bed very comfortable and bathroom well appointed. I thought the dining room / restaurant was very dark painted black and I didn't like that. I didn't eat on site. I booked on site parking which was occupied by another car when I arrived back late one evening. I was tired and needed to go out early next morning. So I was not happy about this. The Hotel should have systems in place to prevent this happening. I got a 2 day refund for my parking. Staff were generally very helpful. In hindsight I would have preferred a hotel closer to the CBD.

I dislike properties that only supply the bed with a sheet, light cover and thick quilt. There is no possibility of adjusting sleeping temperature - you have to be too hot or too cold. Supply a blanket as well as a quilt. Yes, it had a heat pump - noisy. The room was not warm enough for a sheet and cover only, and even with the heat pump off it was not cold enough to require the quilt. It is also unfortunate that there were very limited cooking facilities.

Nice tidy property central to a lot of shops etc
