Everything at this hotel was incredible. Gym and pool facility was amazing. Three weeks traveling around Australia, this was easily the best accommodation. We stayed in an interconnected room. Was great to have two bathrooms, laundry and a kitchen!

Faded glory I think. For what we paid I was disappointed with the condition of the room, the bathroom mirror was dirty and the shower hinge was broken. Of significant issue, the QR code with all of the room information was missing and the staff had no system in place to resolve the issue outside of the IT department’s office hours, so we had no access to room service, could not see the mini bar prices etc. By way of compensation the duty manager gave us the bottled water that we had used from the mini bar free of charge, and offered two coffee vouchers which we had no way to use. I did not feel terribly happy about this offer. The onsite restaurants were booked out for functions so we ended up having to eat off site. The dining options were one reason why we chose this venue. I think had I not paid for 5 star, I might not have been so disappointed, but for the price I would not choose this hotel again.
