Arrived at the Southbank location and there was no hotel there in the booking name. I thought i had been scammed. The hotel next door found the contact number for me for the company and after phoning them I was directed to another hotel which I then had to walk to. The worst communication i have ever experienced with a hotel associated with hotels.com

Very basic property. Photos on site definitely ‘glowed up’ to suggest the hotel nicer than in reality. Overpriced for what you get.

The room was clean and spacious, we had a great view and walking distance to the places we went. They are doing renovations so the only down side was the lifts being really slow. But it didnt make a huge difference. Really affordable and I will stay again! Not alot of parking options so parked elsewhere but overall, it was perfect!

Disliked: Cleanliness
First day of stay the room smelled of heavy smoke and was unable to open balcony due to building maintenance. Front desk put in an ozone machine which stated in bold letters that was not to be used while the room was occupied. Was able to move rooms after one night which was a help. Second room was fine and no smell of smoke. Was charged a "Grand Prix Premium" for the last night which made the stay not worth the price.
