Our studio quad room was perfect for our group and daily housekeeping kept it neat tidy the entire time. Only issue was with the tv remote where it didn’t quite pair correctly for that brand of tv. the volume button would not work and volume was stuck on max. Finally fixed it two hours later when we worked out how to reset to factory sound settings using some very creative button combinations. Gave us a good laugh though! Facilities were great and food was similar quality to taverns & RSLs. Brother league tavern was a short walk and taxis were quick to pick up and short distance into town. This time we used the luggage room both before and after check in and out which allowed us to use the facilities and go on tours as our flights were early and late night. Best amenity provided was use of the guest room & showers. We were able to spend our final day hanging in the pools and have a shower prior to out late night flight.
