My stay at Hadley’s Orient Hotel was quite enjoyable overall, with its charming heritage feel and friendly staff. I loved the hotel's perfect CBD location, making it easy to walk to attractions. However, while the bar and dining areas were lovely, I did notice some issues with the breakfast quality on one occasion. 🏨😊
