4.5 star ratingRoom was great. Bed comfortable. City views excellent. Centrally located and close to city attractions. Hotel staff helpful and courteous.After checking in, secure car park was difficult to get into - security key swipe pad was difficult to locate as was nowhere near the access point. Once in the secure car park, lift up to foyer did not work - had to use the fire escape to go up one floor in the basement to access a lift that worked. There was no written instructions advising of the order in which you had to use the security key and then push buttons. Took 40mins to get from check in to room. Complimentary tea/coffee package in room was not sufficient for 2 people for a 2 night stay. Enough only for 1 person. Teapot had no lid. No instructions how to use the Pay TV facility.

5.0 star ratingThis was the most reasonably priced 2 bedroom apartment I could find and nothing to complain about. for a family there was a small kitchen to make breaky with a full sized fridge/oven etc. We were 10 minutes walk to Eagle Street pier (which was handy as the three year old refused to walk!), and about 5 minutes walk to main shopping in Queen Street. I used the gym which was great, the pool was so clean. No hesitation here in recommending a stay. No attached restaurant so no breakfast but you are in close proximity to plenty of eateries.kathyc20 September 2016
4.5 star ratingCheck in was handled on time. Car accom was provided (for a fee) but no drama. The unit was clean, kitchen facilities adequate. Huge patio with nice city outlook. Centrally located and could walk to everything. The bed was comfortable. Room was quiet, Shower was hot and towels fluffy. What more could you ask for. Check out was easy and we were able to leave our car there until we came back in the afternoon. Would definitely stay here again.Anonymous 14 September 2016
3.0 star ratingBe was literally the most comfortable bed i've ever slept on, and would stay again just for thatthe toilets had no water pressure, and on 2 occasions had to tip water down the bowl to make it flush properly. No towels - wasn't sure if we had to get them from reception, but wasn't really made clear. had to park my car away in one of the public car park, costing me an extra $50 total which i wasn't made aware of. was able to get a car park the second night which i was able to acquire. Room looked straight into the building next to us, which the photo didn't really show.Goodtwin18 January 2016
