Loved the hotel, breakfast buffet was exceptional! Would definitely stay again. However I wouldn’t use auto check booths for next time and would prefer to have staff advise on best choice of remaining room. I was allocated a corner room which was cramped in design and bathroom smelt overwhelmingly of mildew/mould. Lovely room otherwise and I still have enjoyed my day.

Beautiful hotel and location. But was overcharged by around 200 aud. Needed to make a long distance call to talk to the manager. It took about a week before the overcharged was returned to my credit card. Checked in 4 am (paid the day before) we waited a long time until the front desk came out from the room. About an hour. Excellent rooms and location.
