Property is showing its age, outside room windows were dirty and mouldy. Evacuation alarm activated three times in a 24hr period (last one at 4.20am) causing the evacuation via stairwell from the 8th floor which is not good for the elderly with medical problems. No assistance offered by management, nor apology. The location is convenient with excellent harbour views.

Big open living area, bright lighting in the bathroom, reading lights at the bedside that worked, lovely little balcony, comfortable KS bed, excellent air conditioner, powerful shower pressure, kitchen had good supply of basic amenities, lounge was comfortable and overall, the room was very functional, quiet, safe, clean and had a good vibe!!

An acceptably clean room although some rubbish from previous guests was left in the room. No room service and unable to request a bucket of ice for our room. Not bad overall, but could be better.

I was pretty disappointed with my stay. I spontaneously booked a room for my four year old son and I and another for my sister. The smell when I first walked into my room was so overwhelming of damp and I was lucky enough to have a view of all the paint cans and Reno rubbish. I asked to have my room changed and they said they had one more available and I moved all our stuff to the room and it was only slightly better. Still stunk of damp and I had to keep our doors open to try and air it all out, which didn’t work. For nearly $400 a night I expected better.
