"Excellent room, great bay view with balcony. Staff were excellent and most helpful. There were negatives however for whilst I had selected ‘parking’ as a requirement (I am partially disabled) there is no on-site parking. Their parking is in a shopping centre for $30 a day or $50 valet. Internet was so slow, ‘Speedtest’ didn’t even work. Overall, good, but could be better and ‘offsite’ parking should be highlighted."

"everything was great! they let us check in earlier because the room was ready, the room itself was clean and spacious, the staff were lovely and accommodating. reception gave us free drinks due to a misunderstanding (my fault for not messaging and checking but it wasn't held against me), and the bar staff went above and beyond. Wonderful experience, definitely would stay again!"
