Fellow Twitter users have been less than impressed by the news with one writing:
"Oh come on. ANOTHER hotel? We've seen the decimation of our city during the pandemic because we've focused on tourists for so long. Now we have a city caters for locals less and less. With no end of the pandemic in sight, we have to be able to be sufficient without tourists."

Several others echoed the same sentiments, saying that it's "homes not hotels" that are needed.
The same account also shared several photos of a new cycle lane facility between Thomas Street and the Quays, writing:
"A further element of the new cycle lane facility on Bridgefoot Street is now in place. A much handier link for cyclist between Thomas Street and the Quays."
While locals have agreed that the new laneway is a "good start", many have commented that parts of the north end still need to be developed.
