The rooms were tiny. The self service parking incredibly inconvenient and poorly explained how to get there. The breakfast buffet was average. I've stayed at the crown metropol across the road and honestly its twice the size of the rooms and the breakfast a lot better.

Concierge so helpful took our bags to our room and helped us with anything. Porta cot supplied was very clean and in excellent condition. Playroom in the building was awesome for the kids to have a play inside. Would stay again! Fridge could be bigger but big enough for a couple.
