Likes : - location of the hotel was very convenient and walking distance from the eateries and tourist spots - breakfast was good but same menu and initially get bored if eat more than 2 days Dislikes : - parking is not provided by the hotel but given by a third party that cost AUD30 per day but the shutter closes at 10pm - hotel was being renovated and our rooms were just opposite the renovating rooms. Hence, the smell of paint and noise was disturbing. Hotel staff never advised us on this - water was not provided in the hotel rooms and we were told to pay AUD5 per small bottle of mineral water - housekeeping was below zero. Bedsheets were not changed but just neatly put up every time. Toilets and bathroom was not clean thoroughly - had to check out early at 1.30am. Had advised the hotel staff a day ahead about the early breakfast arrangements but the hotel staff never got back to us and on the check out time, they refused to give a refund stating that booking was made via Expedia Very disappointed with the whole booking
