Rooms are old and tired, mouldy curtain, broken and mouldy tiles in bathroom, shower tap plate coming off wall - this is NOT 4-star. AND BEWARE as they sting you for the full amount at check-in ($400 for a studio), $40 for a carpark a $250 bond - I've only ever handed over my credit card for a hotel to take an imprint, so I was annoyed about this. No signage in lobby to suggest it is the Chancellor. Location is good, proximity to the city is good, but this is not an intl standard 4-star - more like 3 star at most.

Liked: Cleanliness
The best thing about the hotel is the location. The room was clean but tatty (scuff marks on walls, crack down front of dishwasher, full ashtray out on balcony table). To get into the gym or parking you have to go to reception and ask someone to let you through, I recommend not doing this near check in/ check out time as with one staff member and a long queue you will wait a while.

The staff are as always brilliant to deal with, we are regulars you see so already know them by name too. The room we stayed in 205 is in need of refurbishing. The walls are getting grubby, the carpet is very frayed at the edges especially by the kitchen. The touch lamp on the rhs of the bed does not work properly. I like that there are handrails by the bath. Also, the pool,spa and sauna is always a big plus for us. Cheers Marge and Sid

Was really handy for downtown. Beds were comfy but pillows not great. Pool area looked good. Make sure that you confirm a carpark space (if required). Clean. Bathrooms need upgrading.
