We stayed a few nights in the school holidays and it was so well located for kids and parents alike. There are interesting price varied eating options, it's a fun city atmosphere in a safe family friendly area. So close to everything you need. The Novotel itself was wonderful. great rooms, great staff and having your bed made up and reset was superb - why we love hotel treatment.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Over priced
The hotel has different kinds of rooms and there seems to be no difference in price but it made the difference between my daughter’s room having a water bottle and hot tea and mine not. The bed was uncomfortable and there was no where to put your clothes if you wanted to unpack except 4 hangers in the closet. You’re paying for the location and that’s about it. The breakfast at the hotel was $38/ person and though it’s a buffet, that seems a bit much.
