More the AUS$1000 for 2 night just too much for this hotel. Plus extra for parking. Such a high price per night for a hotel room in that area. Free drink for visit had good intention but bar was chock-a-block full with crowded booked even meant it not possible to take the drink. A nice relaxing lounge is required for a welcome drink. Not a standing room only bar full of rowdy partying patrons. Good intentions gone wrong.

Completely disappointed in my stay the Aircon did not work in my room. 202 mini bar wasn’t restocked and had opened drinks and chips that I have been charged for. No bathroom necessities were restocked shampoo conditioner and body wash was told the pool temperature was 26° but felt like 19 when u got in so how is that a heated indoor pool?

We received a free room upgrade on arrival, parking was convenient although the clearance was only 2.0m not the 2.1 staff had said over the phone prior to arrival, I'm glad I took our smaller car. The breakfast was pretty comprehensive, something for everyone. Overall we had a great stay
