Blinds didnt work throughout our stay and we were been told that the technician didn't turn up. No upfront communication, we had to raise this issue. Shampoo and body wash were empty in bathroom and we had to ask the front desk in order for them to be refilled. Housekeeping on day 2 or day 3 didn't occur until 4.30pm. Leftover food and tray were left outside our room. Guests across from ours are very loud and triggered the fire alarm on our last day. Overall, room itself is ok except we never get the chance to have functioning blinds to see out the window.

Loved the brekky and free parking deal we got. Breakfast buffet was great as were all dining options. Disliked bathrooms. Need updating. Mouldy shower curtain. Boisterous rugby players in the restaurant were disappointing. I won’t mention the team name as it was only 4 players

My 5 yo son needed a bath but there was no plug. We rang down for one and 30minutes later they brought one to our room, but it leaked. It's not a big thing but frustrating.
