Breakfast was great, staff were friendly and helpful and even gave my daughter a birthday gift on arrival. Location is perfect for cbd and the sky tower. I didn’t like the bathroom/shower but that is personal preference and the parking is extremely expensive offsite at $59 for the hours of 2pm-10am.
