Hotel on Devonport
Don't use expedia and pay for protection with a weather event you can't forecast, money down the drain. Rang the hotel they couldn't change due to expedia, just deal with the hotel in the future

Great central location with clean nice rooms, loved the balcony. Underground carpark was a bit tight.

It was the honeymoon suite with a spa bath ... which pumped out lumps of black algae; a mood killer I'd say.
