Old dated hotel! Did not look like a 4 star property that it claimed to be. No swimming pool, stained doors with dated rooms! Needs renovation desperately! The picture we saw showed floor to ceiling windows in the room but the room in reality looked nothing like the pictures they put in their advertisement. Very disappointed also felt like violated as the room did not look like the room we were expecting from the pictures

TV reception / WiFi really poor. Not sure if it was a glitch over the weekend or not but the net effect was they were both unusable for the 2 night stay. First world issues....

I was a bit worried as I got a very good deal on the room rate- but the hotel was great. Close to Lambton Quay, modern spacious room, great onsite restaurant and staff were very professional and helpful. The lobby area is a little worn and dated and one of the lifts was broken, but it was fine for the price.

Service was great. Hotel room was clean and had a comfortable big bed. Only there one night so didn’t use hotel facilities or restaurant but restaurant and bar looked good. Valet parking was a great service but unfortunately I had to park myself but fully understand as big car and left hand drive so I was fine with this. Just got charged full price rather than self park. Otherwise a great hotel to stay in.
