Pros +
- It is walking distance to almost everthing.
- Front office staff were friendly and helpful.
- friendly staff and in a good location.
Cons -
- Paying for parking, and not. Eing able to reserve a spot.
- I tried to take an afternoon nap but was unable to as cleaning staff kept slamming the doors of rooms adjacent during cleaning, instead of pegging open. We had asked to have our room made up in the morning & informed them that we were going to take a nap
- Wifi is terrible

friendly staff and in a good location.
Very large room with separate bedroom. Very clean. Short walk to restaurants
Location is great, plenty of room
Wifi is terrible
We had a huge room, plenty of space for the family.
Was a bit noisy at night, next door the family had young kids that made it hard to sleep. Parking was charged at
Overall very good. Sleeping arrangements aside, great location.
No space or scope for extra beds. We had 3 people needing a bed and the hotel was unable to help out. So 2 large mammals slept together in the double. If you can't offer a rollaway bed, put a kingsize bed into the bedroom.
Comfortable bed, clean
Smell from drain in bathroom
Location
Not clean, bathroom door handle falling off, dangerous door stop in bathroom-bashed my foot at least two times on this. The lift I seem to get only went to G floor so to go to Basement, I had to get out and call another lift. Doesn't sound like an issue however with a disability and loaded up it was something which frustrated me.Bedroom lamp flickered on and off all night and the plug was wedged in between the bed and the wall.The male on reception at check out seemed like he really did not care at all when I reported these issues in a manner that was conversational.This place was pretty much empty and the cost was way over priced.The hallways were very dim and seedy.A big NO.
Nice size twin room kids loved it, close walk to shops
Buffet breakfast wasn't alot of food out and no very good variety especially since we paid $100
the room was nice
the room was dirty from the guest before had to be cleaned ....... no staff apparentlywanted to book another night with the staff in the reception, couldn't because it was booked through Booking.com I had to ring up went through three different people only to end up back at reception and got told we had to book online ...again.booked another night through booking.com eventually but with no one's help.I really don't know what's happing in Australia there is no customer service anymore no one cares at all if you have a good or bad experience the restaurant was closed but advertised on booking.com that it had one which was really inconvenient.overall, it was a terrible experience and considering we paid $600 per night I thought they would have at least tried to help or made sure the rest of the weekend went smoother than the first hour.I will never stay in any Accor hotels again.
Location
Parking…awkward access, low clearance and minuscule parking spaces and extra charge.Rooms are tired and desperately need refurbishing. Breakfast also very ordinary and crowded. Poor value.
Close to everything
Not as clean as it could be. Key didn’t work properly
Good value for money, cooked breakfast excellent and great location
Room on the small side but not an issue for one night
Good location and decent breakfast.
Most levels smell like cigarettes. Pool is like a large bathtub from 1876 in a horror movie location down some fire stairs in a dungeon. Unsuitable hotel for kids.
Great location - walking distance to many cafes, bars and restaurants
The pool heater was broken, the gym area has no windows and aircon only worked on warm
Was not impressed at all ! Would not recommend staying here especially for kids.
We came from Sydney 2-3 hr drive and upon arrival we just got told that pool was under maintenance & cannot be used , we were not notified at all through email , phone etc. We had then settled in our room.Bed sheets were not changed at all , there was still hairs on it and stains. Looks like the beds were just made up again from previously people that were checked in. Furniture had graffiti on it. Everything on the website of the pictures that your gonna stay in aren’t the ones your gonna wake up in. Pool looked so haunted and dark. Not worth coming here with family.
The hotel is a great location. The 1BR room was a good size. The staff were very nice. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean.
The free wifi is useless. The bed was comfortable but there was no choice of pillows. Our room was on level 1 and smoke would drift in if we had the balcony door open. The pool was out of service. This is one of the main reasons I chose this hotel.
Great location and large room.
Pool heater broken and pool freezing. Breakfast also really cold. Only thing hot was the toast
Convenient location on tram route. Comfortable beds. Welcoming staff at reception
Accessibility issue: No walk in shower
