The room was very hot, the coolest we could ever get it was 22 celsius or 72 fahrenheit. The hottest was 24 celsius or 75 fahrenheit. This made it very uncomfortable to sleep. I wish I was able to post pictures because I would love to post pictures of the filthly fan they sent us.

The whole experience was fantastic but it all started with the outstanding desk staff that did our check in who happened to be the same person that checked us out. Room was not ready when we first arrived, and the staff were very remorseful but quite informative as to why the room was not They gave us free drink vouchers to help overcome any grief The room and the condition of the hotel was really pleasant and the bed and overall comfort was outstanding. I would recommend this hotel to all of my friends and family

The Good: Helpful & friendly staff, perfect location in the CBD - close to Central station & walking distances to shops, restaurants/cafes & groceries. Amenities are decent - gym & Pool are handy. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of food types. The Bad: Cleaning/service staff. Our room was acceptable on check in - but the days after showed quick decline of how the room was being "cleaned" The room was never vacuumed, our coffee cups were never replaced/cleaned (so we only had coffee once), toilet paper was never refilled once (upon check out, we were up to the last roll with a single use left) Our young toddler also threw up during one of the nights, we managed to get him into the shower - and cleaned up the mess as much as we could. (this was around 3pm and our room still hadn't been cleaned that day) We called the front desk to notify the incident and that the room may require extra attention during the service. Later, we met the cleaner and explained the situation - to which they just replaced our towels and left. And their version of cleaning our bathroom was using our old towels and wiping down the walls. Very disgusting. No disinfectant sprays etc. We felt like we were living in a bacteria filled room. No wonder our baby vomited!!

More the AUS$1000 for 2 night just too much for this hotel. Plus extra for parking. Such a high price per night for a hotel room in that area. Free drink for visit had good intention but bar was chock-a-block full with crowded booked even meant it not possible to take the drink. A nice relaxing lounge is required for a welcome drink. Not a standing room only bar full of rowdy partying patrons. Good intentions gone wrong.
