Spacious, clean apartments.

positive:
Access to friendly hotel staff.
Hotel staff are friendly and polite and give as much attention to self-service apartment guests as they do to regular hotel guests. The majority of staff are drawn from the local population and can offer great advice on where to go and the best routes on how to get there.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Onsite parking issues.
On busy occasions such as weddings or conferences, parking can fill up quickly. The parking is also used by patrons of the leisure centre which adds to the issue of availability.
negative:
Steep hill location.
City Suites at the Montenotte Hotel is located at the top of a fairly steep hill which could present a difficult situation for elderly guests or those with some movement or mobility restrictions if on foot.
negative:
Noisy water heaters.
The water heaters in the apartments tend to run at a level that could be considered quite noisy and disturbing which may affect light sleepers more than others. Apartment walls are also fairly thin and some can hear the neighbouring water heater at night as well.
