Great location for WIN stadium, Haley at the front desk was amazing a real asset to Sage, room was clean, bed comfortable but for the price of the hotel it’s not value for money, 2 small cups no saucers, 2 small glasses, 2 coffee pods, small room, we had the executive room, around 500 for a night, just everything seem to be minimal.

They asked me at checkin to verify in my booking where my silver status perk gave me free parking. I thought they would have this in their notes.

At check in, I asked for an upgrade as Expedia VIP. I was told that I already goe it (which was not true). I also asked for a view room and got a parking lot. My colleague who checked in right after me and has no status whatsoever got an upgrade to a suite because his booked room type (same as mine) was not available. That's your VIP benefit expedia :-). Furthermore, there was no room service at all during the day. Location was nice - near the beach, walkable. The worst was that the water stopped working on the last day, so I had to leave on a 24 hour trip without being able to take a shower. Not recommended, really ...

Rooms have been updated and was clean and spacious. We got a room that has an adjoining door to the room next door and this door was not soundproof. Noise from the hallway and neighbouring rooms travel. Also, the 'King' bed is just two twin beds joined together, I wish housekeeping added a pillow topper or additional bedding so you didn't notice the gab in between. We were only staying 1 night, so made do. But if we were staying longer, we would have requested a room change or additional padding from housekeeping.

The staff were very welcoming on arrival, check I was easy and quick. Parking is on street unless you pay for it. This can be a bit tricky when there is an event on at the stadium, then expect to walk. The room was fairly clean the bed and pillows were comfortable. Rooms have basic hotel facilities, would have like to have some small bowls in room as there was only cups and spoons Two disappointments on the stay, breakfast menu for the Buffett was very limited no hot food and definitely not worth the $25 . Went to another hotel to have breakfast instead. The pool area was never cleaned we stayed 2 nights and always had rubbish in the area , food scraps and containers around the seating area in the evening. When we reported that there was food multiple food scraps in the pool, paper, chips, look like toilet paper and other food scraps in the pool to the evening staff seemed attentive and wanting to assist, come the morning and still wanting to go for our last swim with my child. Pool was still filthy and I had to report it to the reception again which they were completely unaware. Disappointed to say the least !!

Asked for a seaview room celebrating our anniversary on booking about a week before our stay. I have stayed 6 nights in the last few weeks due to work. didn't get a Seaview room. woke up 1st morning to jackhammer and grinds. had to chase up to get our room serviced then 3rd day room not serviced again this hotel has so much going for it but think could do with some training from top down. staff in restaurant are great real good service nice meals
