    Unfortunately the pool was out of action and the bar shut at 9.00 pm. Too early!

    There are so.e great facilities including a new pool complex including a bar and cafe.

    Rook should be more spacious. Even though the facilities were clean and the staff were very helpful, the room facilities were very basic. I have stayed in their property at Sydney Airport, and it was much better.

    The room was okay! I liked the breakfast they gave me. I was on transit. I had to get a flight the following day to Dili. My wife also joined me that night. She came from Melbourne.

    The new checkin where they have joined the two hotels. Because people stay there direct from flights, and the check in for two hotels is now at one desk it was a 55minute wait in a queue to check in. Tough when travelling with young kids. That needs to be fixed!

    The checkin setup is ridiculous having to wait over 60 minutes in a line before we could be served. More staff or a better process is required especially after travelling all day.
