Pleasant Short staycation
Always enjoy staying here, convenient location, spa pool and friendly staff.
The only problem is majority of their rooms don’t have window / balcony.
Overall great hotel if you get it at the right price.

A special hotel in the CBD.
The quietest hotel room I've ever stayed in. Even in luxury hotels there's a strange ever-present hum. None here. Great lighting in the room. Staff are professional and friendly. Just a great space to be in. Didn't get to try the pool as I was staying for work but I'll definitely check it out next time.
