I’ve stayed several times previously at this hotel; however this was the worst experience by far. Bathroom cleanliness was an issue with mould ridden shower and hair on the walls. Only 1 tiny bar of soap provided. Shampoo dispenser fell off shower wall. Room was lacking an alarm clock, pen and paper, bottle opener, drink coasters, dry cleaning bags. Hot food at breakfast buffet was stone cold despite eating at 7.00am. Customer service is poor. Staff didn’t even bother to ask how my stay was or thank me for staying with them as they don’t care. Staff reaction to complaint was indifference. I paid $650 for 2 nights. In summary overpriced, poor customer service, lacks room amenities and poor cleanliness. Will not be returning.

Great location and service at the front desk. Unfortunately the cleaning in my room lacked attention to detail, lamps were covered in thick dust, grime around taps/drains in bathroom and the walls had numerous scuffs and scrapes. I ordered off the menu for breakfast at manna house - which the staff serving me seemed confused about, the order then took about 20 minutes to come out which made me late to my event.

Location was perfect (minutes to Central) and we had parking included and allowed us to leave it there until 1pm on day of checkout. Front desk service was great as well. Room (King superior) was alright. The sofa bed was the worst I’ve ever slept on. Room didn’t have double glazing so sounded like trucks and cars were outside our window - on the 3rd floor… The heated pool and spa was a big hit with the little ones. Might stay again but probably not.

Not accommodating for working mothers. I came for for a career development breakfast event. I got to the hotel early but couldn't find a parents room for pumping. Reception staff did not know where to guide me. Next i asked cafe staff, who guided me to a meeting room with a locked door and gave me permission for parental use. However, another staff member came along 15 min later and told me through the door that no one was supposed to be there and threatened to open the door while i was still pumping. They started to use their keys even though i pleaded for them to give me time to make myself decent. They then suspected me of stealing until i showed proof of what i was doing. I'm mortified and embarrassed and hope that this doesn't happen to other people who need to come for corporate events. The corporate event space on level 11 was very beautiful and the event was well run.

Stayed recently with my partner for a quick mid week get away. Room and amenities are very nice and breakfast buffet outstanding. However there was so much renovations going on that it made it impossible to sleep in after 7am. The drilling from level 3 reverberated through our level 2 room, and then the carpets were being replaced on our level which added even more noise. I appreciate that maintenance is needed however it would have been nice if you had told us off that prior to booking or when we booked in.
