Nice clean rooms, quiet and comfortable. Easy and secure underground parking. Shuttle bus to Waterfront runs on time and easy to use. Great breakfast. Gym is small but equipment new.

Although it’s called ‘Waterfront’ it’s surrounded by some pretty big multi-lane highways which make the shuttle a better option than walking

Absolutely best experience to reception and waiter support and good quality food.

Wish it was a little less expensive so my business travel allowance can allow me to stay there every month.
