Pool temperature could be warmer!!! Shower drain issues lead to a wet bathroom floor!!! One rubbish bin is not enough for a family!!! Internal rooms are too hot and noisy during events!!! Remote control not functioning well!!!

Family with children inconvenience

The staff was friendly, especially the guy with the Batman tattoo who helped with our bags. The pool area was really nice and my son had a blast swimming. He loved the spa too which was unexpected and a good way to unwind after our long drive.

It wasn't exactly cheap though, felt like I paid a premium for some lackluster aspects.

Decent location, needs work

Stayed in a Superior Queen room. The staff were friendly, but the air-con was super noisy and made it hard to sleep. The bar/lounge area was nice for a drink. Small issue was the parking charges weren’t mentioned upfront. It could use some TLC for the price paid.

frustrating food options

Impressive indoor pool and a delightful breakfast that catered to various tastes made for a pleasant experience. the room service menu was limited and rather unappetizing, and I found it frustrating that I was unable to enjoy a simple light snack upon arrival. While the room was comfortable, cleanliness could be improved as I noticed dust accumulating on carpets.

The location is fantastic with easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. The staff are genuinely friendly, always welcoming us with smiles and eager to help. Our spacious Executive King Suite was comfortable and perfect for relaxing after our adventures.

The room service options were quite limited, making it hard to find something simple to eat.

great location but lacking in upkeep

The location is fantastic for families with children, as it is close to major attractions like the Portrait Gallery and Parliament House. The staff were friendly, always welcoming us with smiles, and eager to help. Easy check-in made our stay comfortable right from the start. The indoor pool was a hit with my kids, creating joyful memories during our stay! !

The hotel felt a bit run down for the price we paid.
