Tv and internet was slow and not working properly. Air-conditioning was permanently set on 20 but the room never went below 25 degrees which made for a very hot and restless night. Tv in bedroom was tiny Bathroom was beautiful though with amazing water pressure.

Did not get the room that I pre-paid and booked online. I was put into a standard room instead of the Executive Suite that I had on my reservation. The hotel could not move me the first night so I needed to check out of the standard room by 10 the next morning and put my bags in the car and check back in later the next day at 4 for the correct room. They compensated me with breakfast the next morning.

We stayed for a week as part of TeamUSA and then went to Cairns for a week and then came back for a night. While we were in Cairns, they held onto our larger luggage in storage and when we got back, we asked if they had a scale to weigh our re-packed luggage. The front desk person got her scale from her home on her break and brought it back for us to use! Amazing customer service!

check in was easy and simple, parking everywhere, there was a busted pipe in the undercover parking but, no one can prevent everything. the rooms were pretty nice but had flaws like the soap holder in the shower was broken and glue was used so no one cut themselves on the tile. breakfast was absolutely beautiful, they really made a lot of effort to present this, well worth it in the morning.
