Facilities were great and catered for a party of 4 on a girls weekend. Would definitely not both ordering room service at night, the standard of food was unacceptable considering it was only a toasted sandwich , and when I confronted staff they didn’t seem to care and still charged us fully. Apart from that great location , clean and tidy , would stay again but would consider ordering after hours room service again.

We stayed with our 3 children in the family suite which was perfect and very roomy. Easy walks to restaurants, shopping, library and other sites. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious and great for kids also.

I was disappointed to learn when l informed staff that l we were scheduled to attend an excursion which the pickup time conflicted with our breakfast resulting in us missing breakfast. When l had raised the matter with staff l had asked if we could be re-imbursed or a salad roll arranged that night but when l was told the girl will call me back that same night, l received no phone call, not even a message apologising the following day. Also noticed that we were notated down as attending breakfast when we actually didn't. becuase of this we will not be staying at this hotel again.

Centrally located. Valet parking only available on premises. Street parking 5 mins away and not always available. Wifi Internet hopeless - Laptops would not connect - staff knew that it was an ongoing issue but unable/unwilling to assist.
