10/10 Excellent
"Stayed in a large room on a high floor for Grand Final weekend. Hotel at capacity, some issues with the lifts on one day made the descent slow and squishy. On a busy road so best to be up high for less noise. Great facilities in the room with sitting area, dining space, kitchenette and bathroom. However very small ensuite bathroom with glass doors, which is great for couples but less so for friends. Great location."
