"This is the second stay, albeit the first was under a different brand.
The Pros
Good location for me visiting family. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and pillows.
I like they also provide a Nespresso machine.
Also my room was very clean.
The pool looked nice, but a tad too cold to swim in June!
The staff were really helpful and attentive, including the restaurant. And the dinner I had there was very good.
Great sized towels in the rooms, not the tiny towels in most hotels.
They also seem to have a number of conferences, so at times can be busy, so may pay to book for the restaurant if that's the case.
The negatives
The rooms are pretty dated. Also no Foxtel (or at least it came up as no signal), and paying premium prices, I felt that was a bit cheap.
The shower is over a bath, so becomes a slip hazard, especially for the elderly, especially with no real hand rails.
Whilst the bathroom was spacious, the toilet is tucked against a wall....truly bizarre and poor planning.
My only real gripe, under the new management, you have to pay $15.00 a day for parking and is not included in the rates. That leaves a sour taste...it simply is a revenue maker.
The only difference now is they have boom gates with license plate technology, but there are others ways to enforce illegal parking (and it has a very large car park).
Overall, a decent hotel, but really needs a refresh in the rooms. The staff are excellent, from the concierge, restaurant and back of house."
