For the price of the room is was very disappointing. There were water stains on the ceiling and is smelt musty. There are no powerpoints by the bed which is pretty standard these days. Arrived early to check in but rather than a system of SMS when the room was ready (again pretty standard practice) it was up to me to keep checking with the hotel. Overall average experience.

Room was great and facilities were good Dining options were not great, and the price was excessive for the quality of dinning. The steak I ordered was a Prime rib 400gr. The steak was not medium rare as requested and for close to $100 for steak, chips and a soft drink the price was excessive. The same meal elsewhere would have been half the price for the same or better quality Breakfast was good however and was included in the price of the stay.

The tv didn’t work (the staff couldn’t even get it working) so we had our 2 kids in the room from check in without anything to do or watch and the compensation the hotel gave - free parking. Wouldn’t even give a discount on a meal (even though the staff member who tried to fix our tv said they would). They obviously don’t care about their guests.
