Internet system needs an upgrade, its not the signal lavle- but problemns with your router S/W- loyts of 'DHCP" errors . Please improve the bike strorage area, even if to just clear the path and include power outlets to charge bikes (bringinfg Batteries into rooms is not a great alternatiev)

Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria On The Harbour
I have stayed here a number of times over the years and I really like it. It's a good mid priced hotel with very accommodating staff, a nice atmosphere and a great location. This time there was a very unpleasant door in the hallway both days we were there. That took away from my overall review.
