    The bar fridge had a clear door that remained lit up at night which was annoying. The angle of the tv could not be adjusted to view the tv from the table and chairs. The most upsetting issue was the concierge l encountered the day before l checked out in the afternoon. The helpful young man on Reception when l arrived at the hotel said he could book me a local taxi to take me to the Parkland Rail Terminal which was not accessible by any public transport. I needed to check in to an interstate train very early on the day l checked out. So l wanted to know that l could arrange a taxi. I had done this a few times before on my travels with no problems. All other hotels had been very helpful. However, about 4pm on the Wednesday afternoon when l went to Reception to arrange this there was a tall older man on the desk. He said he could not arrange a taxi for me. He stated they did not like to do this. He went on to tell me that the taxis did not show up and he had a button under the desk which allowed staff to call a taxi. I was shocked and said that l had been told on checkin this could be done. I said l had no way to get to this terminal to get my train and this was now creating worry. I said it was strange that another staff member said this could be done and l had always been able to precook a taxi elsewhere. This man went on to say “ l will tell you a story why we don’t call taxis”. I said l did not want to hear his story and walked away. This meant however that my last night was sleepless and unpleasant as l did not feel confident that a taxi could be arranged and l could make my connections. So l got up the next day extra early and spoke to a different staff member at Reception. He arranged a taxi promptly and expressed concern at my experience the afternoon before. He suggested l follow this up as what l had been told was not correct and he also apologised for the upset. I checked out on Thursday 4th April.

    All elements good, room as per pictures provided so description accurate. Loved the view, being able to adjust heating/cooling to my taste, bed very comfortable, loved the decent size table and chairs provided. Bathroom was a great size with heater and fan and the shower pressure was fantastic. Also loved the brand and full size toiletries provided. The room was spacious and clean. A very relaxing stay. A very lovely man called Tony was available with a courtesy vehicle to drive guests into town. This was a wonderful service that was greatly appreciated for a visiting interstate tourist. Very knowledgeable about his home town.

    Dining was unavailable which was unfortunate due to Easter weekend. One would have thought Saturday would have been open. Eating at nearby pubs got tiresome.

    TV casting from the phone was a little tricky to get working, not the hotels fault though!

    The room was great, clean and spacious and the bar & restaurant had a fantastic city view for sunset. Staff were very friendly and accomodating of a booking change on a previous visit, which led me to book another stay a few weeks later.

    CAR PARKING: wasn’t guaranteed a car park even though I was booked for 3x nights. I appreciate its a ‘first in, first served’ policy but when you arrive and I am ‘first in’ then that spot should be mine throughout my stay. When wanting to use the car during the day, we were told by reception that the park is not guaranteed when we get back but should be ok because not many check-ins that day. But if I am paying $15 per day for the spot, it’s seems ridiculous it’s not mine for the entirety of my stay. HOTEL BAR: it was great having a bar on our floor, and prices seemed standard for in-hotel prices excluding the cocktails. Which were a standard price @ $22 but your cocktails are not being served in a standard size glass. So I would have preferred to pay more for the correct size cocktail at least.

    STAFF: very friendly and accommodating especially with room service. ROOMS: Very clean and beds were comfy.

    Original 80s bathroom that desperately needs updating. The gym was minuscule and the pool area was also dated.

    Nice location near the park. Good size room with great city views from the balcony. Large, comfortable bed. Plenty of plugs and USB ports.

    Parking during busy periods was quite difficult resulting in our car having to be left across the street for a night instead of in the secured gated parking.

    Awesome room, comfy bed with very comfortable pillows. Clean and tidy room. Couldn’t hear traffic at all which was a bonus.
