Great views and friendly staff but access is poor

Lovely, spacious comfortable room on the 10th room with great views of the city, freeways and tram depot. The shower/toilet was very cramped - you could not have swung a cat in it! The staff we interacted with were friendly, courteous and helpful. However, it should be noted that we never saw anybody at the concierge desk in the lobby and the reception is actually on the 7th floor. Parking is available, but it’s in the open on the other side of a busy street, meaning you may have to drag your suitcases a fair distance and negotiate the traffic. Breakfast was hit and miss depending on the time you arrived - hot one day but not the other and fresh fruit offerings were surprisingly poor given the proximity of the hotels to markets.

Room was OK, nothing fancy. AC did not work, when advised on check out we were advised that they are 'sorry' and will look into it, no compensation offered. Room service was poor - offered just a toasted sandwich, no meat as they ' ran out'. Pool is small, there were 22 people in there when we got there which was hardly room to move, we opted not to stay and enjoy the pool (that we paid for) interestingly there is a sign that marks capacity as 44 - no idea where they would all fit. Would I book again, no

Check in was fast and helpful however bed was quite uncomfortable and some of the food we ordered at the pool was quite expensive for what was given (we received three little crackers on our cheese board) breakfast options were good however a lot of the things we got were cold (bacon etc). We decided to stay here to relax by the pool and stay the entire time at the hotel to use facilities etc and it just missed the mark a bit unfortunately.

Small improvements needed

The bed sheets were loud and crisp. Resturant staff pushed out of the elevator before the guests. Buffet selection was simple. Pool was very small and cramped. The bar staff did not give drinking glasses for a bottle of 750ml water. No issues in the room itself.
