"Overall the stay was very good in most aspects, the only concern i had was the condition of the room itself the bathroom was in need of a bit of a freshen up , the mirror needed replacing and there were several rust spots on the door frame, also some mould spots around the roof in the cupboard area near the room entrance"

"Check in staff member was excellent. The room was amazing. The breakfast was terrible. Why go to so much trouble making an exceptional stay, then ruin it all by having your guests go to a hall style buffet where the staff are rude, there’s absolute chaos and customer service doesn’t exist. Ruined our stay. Giving 5 stars for the hotel and hotel staff, but 0 stars for the buffet breakfast. "

"Super nice staff. Great location, very walkable. We walked to opera house multiple times. Close to shopping too. Pool is very nice. Room is big (we got the twin room with 2 beds), and the beds are very comfortable. They are not as small as the standard twin size in the US. Feels more like a full size. Overall great experience. "
