A stay with some minor issues

helpful stafffantastic pressureample towelsworn buttonsexpensive dinnercold food
The reception staff were very helpful. They gave useful local information. The shower had fantastic water pressure. There were also lots of towels available in the room.
They didn't light up when pushed. Dinner on level six was expensive. Reheated fish pieces were barely warm.

Spacious Room and Helpful Staff

spacious ensuiteclassy beddinghelpful staffbright lighting
Our room was larger than expected. The ensuite was very spacious and well designed. The bedding and furniture looked classy. Staff helped us, especially with parking. We had drinks at the rooftop bar one evening, followed by dinner.
The lighting in our room was too bright with all ceiling lights on at once. There were no dimming options. I thought the breakfast room service was expensive. It charged $12.00 for two slices of cool toast without condiments.
