Although the room was a bit of a squeeze for five people, we could all sleep comfortably. The staff were excellent and very easy to talk to. The room, was beautifully decorated and had an amazing rain shower. Located within a five minute walk of a train station, 7-11, restaurants and a Maccies. Also very close by train to the main tourist attractions. I would highly recommend this hotel.
