Excellent stay! We had to stay an additional 2 nights as our flights home were cancelled due to the recent cyclone. The staff were excellent to deal with and very accommodating with looking adter us
Great location, food across the street nice clean and modern building and room, had to park in a local public carpark a street away then onto the road but street parking is free on the weekends. The bed was super uncomfortable and had a big dip in the middle of both sides and definitely needed upgrading but only stayed for 1 night. buffet breakfast was nice, not a massive selection but enough choices to satisfy.
Property has a good location
Rooms are clean and tidy. Bathroom was nice.
Breakfast was very tasty
Only issue was the bed , it was uncomfortable. The matress has some pile and I could feel it through the bed sheets. I had to put the blanket over the matress so I could sleep
During Check in, i informed the concierge my registration number of car in car park. i paid for the car park fee on check out. leaving the car park we weren't allowed to exit, because the wrong registration number was written down.
Now i am also charged with a minibar fee for an item I DID NOT TAKE. Im sorry but i will NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN.
Disappointing check in after booking a king room and being given a room with a double and single, and minimal natural light. No gold benefits were offered until I asked. Sheets were stained and not fitted to the bed properly, and an open bottle of sparkling water was in the fridge. Given this was a $300+ a night room without breakfast, and our family have stayed at this property about twice a year since it opened it was overall disappointing.
Close to hospitals and walking distance to great restaurants - either in the same street or to China Town in the Valley. Bus stop to the city is a short walk that is safe and clear to get to. Staff are helpful, well organised and friendly. Have stayed a few times and will be returning.
