8/10 Good
"Really funky hotel design. Check in was smooth. There's two towers to the hotel and the naming convention was a little confusing. There's also multiple sets of lifts depending which side of the tower you are on as well. Easy to get lost! Some lifts are very small/tight. The hallways to the rooms as well. Bit of a maze, weaving around. Our room was pretty well laid out. Carpets had a lot of stains but they blend in with the pattern. No iron or ironing board in the room. Bed was comfy and roomy. One pillow was hard and one soft. The tv has sooooo many channels! It's crazy. Bathroom was very tight and the toilet right against the shower so your knee touches. The toilet rolls also stopped the lid going up/down. If you are of bigger size it would be an issue and I'd get an accessible room for more space. The shower was quite low roofed and looks like it's had some rework from above. Theres cracks all around and bubbles in the roof paint. The mirror frame was installed wonky with a huge gap. As others have said the carpark is insane. It's crazy tight and steep. I have no idea how two bigger cars I saw got in. One spot was on a 40' angle. I don't know any car apart from a Smart that could fit. I've never seen anything like it before. All in all, a comfortable stay for the price we paid ($200 + $40 for parking)."
