Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms may be refurbished but the original aircon remains and is too loud to sleep (changed rooms twice - same issue). Rooms are not cleaned till late afternoon providing massive inconvenience when working. Room service menu extremely limited. Pool was closed for the week which was not advertised in advance. Terrible service in trying to get issues rectified.

Staff were helpful however hardware upgrades are needed: 1) only one chair in our room for two guest. 2) kettle is too big for the sink 3) drain at shower not working well, causing flooding at shower 4) remote controller for aircon was missing so we had to contact reception. In addition, no hand towels, bath towels had stains. No recycling bin in room. Card charge is 1.5%. We paid for 3 people for full breakfast and ordered one coffee by barista, still got charged. We were given rooms at level 1. By my wife’s request we had rooms at level 6, windows facing a building only few metres away. My general feeling is that if you are not a Marriott Bonvoy, you are not very welcomed. Above all, staff at reception were helpful.

The room I had looked onto the car park and the lights were on all night, the flimsy curtain that covered the window did not keep the lights out and the bed was in the wrong position, so sleeping was very hard to do.

Quiet,convenience to central hub. Dining room dinner options very ordinary,seafood basket was dry,deep fried frozen food out of boxes. Garlic prawn fettucine was not garlicky and almost no sauce, rendering it very tasteless,meals were not good.

Overall the property & stay were comfortable, Only complaint is the ‘way finding’ signage at the front of the property could be clearer. Raised this with reception staff on check-in.

Thank you to the Courtyard by Marriot. As soon as id arrived, the staffs were helpful and accomodating. However I need to mention Ega, she was my favourite, she was friendly, easy on the eyes and she had such an adorable smile. Again, id apologise for the inconvenience i had caused, i had carelessly took a longer than expected break and found myself on the missing person list back in Melbourne.
