The staff were helpful. Cabin clean. With aircon already on the cabin was cooler than outside = good. Bed comfortable but a bit smaller than we are used to. Facilities in cabin suited our needs.

The hotel is a bit dated but clean. Service and staff are great. The hotel locates near the city centre in walking distance. We enjoyed our stay there.

Staff were helpful . It should be noted this is an enormous complex and there are areas that do not adequately suit people with mobility issues . All of the seating is extremely low , some ramp access do not meet standards as inclines exceed the 1:14 gradient . Staff were helpful and friendly .
