Lovely and helpful reception staff. The building is good and the rooms are very spacious. Amenities are ok - some aspects are a little dated but functional.
Clean and comfortable.good location
The only negative is the breakfast - poor quality - not worth the cost.
The hotel is old and dated - felt like nothing has been done to improve it in 20 years. Paid $500 for a 2 night stay and was very disappointed. There was hair and dirt in the shower, the room was dark (even with the lights on it was difficult to see), there was a strange, unusable spa room and a balcony with railing so low it felt unsafe to be out on. There was hardly any staff around to serve us when we were in the Atrium, and multiple cleaners tried to enter the room because they were under the impression the room was empty or had been checked out off. The only reason we stayed was because we were part of a wedding party, and it was easier for transportation.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This hotel basically needs a revamp as the rooms are very dated and tired. The bathroom smelt really bad and the drapes were ripped. Time to spend some money on it or pull it down.
Very nice cosy room comfortable bed but unfortunately there was a hugh generator outside our room window which was very noisy at night while trying to sleep. Other than that, it's such a nice lovely hotel, have stayed here before thats why we came back again to stay.
Unkept untidy pavement area outside room. Doors to the outside were sealed but I think there could have been a nice little seating area that could be accessed from the EXIT door in the hall. Trays of in room breakfast still sitting outside our room from previous guests at 5pm.It was difficult to climb into the spa bath to take a shower and there was Mould in the tiles.
