The location is good. The issue was the windows were open when we checked in (likely due to there was no air conditioning and temperature was high); mosquitos got into the room and bit us multiple times.

This was our third stay so that says everything. Yes, some things are a little dated but our room was spacious with everything we could possibly need including a really comfortable bed. But the main asset is the view from the balcony which is absolutely magnificent. We also love the walk down to Queenstown Gardens and then into town. Great choice if comfort and scenery are more important than fancy frills.
