Excellent Location and Amenities

comfortable bed lovely lounge area helpful staff
I had a very comfortable king-size bed and enjoyed the lounge area for relaxation. The shower was AMAZING!!! It had a huge shower head, and I took a very long, hot one. The pool and spa were great, as was the on-site dining. The staff was polite and very helpful.
I found the housekeeping standards to be inconsistent . The room keepers did not always replenish bath mats, towels, coffee, or tea, a bit inconvenient.

early check-in guest lounge
The hotel offered early check-in. My room was ready upon arrival. i was also granted a late check-out until 12pm and access to the guest lounge for work before my flight. the location is very close to central station.
the air conditioning seemed to struggle, the room felt stuffy. it was hard to get into the carpark because of parked cars blocking entry. this happened every time i needed to enter the carpark.
