Hotel is centrally located. Close to train station. It is decent hotel. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Couple of things I want to point out, 1. Even if we close all windows, there is noise from the Hunter Square. 2. The breakfast items not so good. 3. Lobby smells of breakfast in the morning.
