I have driven past the Esplanade since it was built in the 80's (?) and was not prepared for the layout - with the massive, domed communal lounge area on our floor. Our room (1.02) was spotless and had been tastefully renovated / updated recently. If I was to make any comment, I felt the thickness of the toilet paper was thin, and strangely, the large coffee cups didn't fit properly on their saucers. If I was to make a suggestion, a couple of complimentary bottles of water in the fridge would have been a nice touch. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the overnight stay and would recommend it to others.

The road noise for rooms on the roadside is significant, even though I was told they were quiet. Would recommend requesting a room away from the road. Other than that, no complaints.

Great until you want breakfast
2 night stay was great, every thing you need until you meet the manager of the attached cafe. Rude and arrogant to say the least. If all the hotel literature states breakfast till 9am then the kitchen should be serving until 9am. Not shutting everything down and refusing table service at 8:45!

We will return!
We booked two Water-view Rooms and were not disappointed. Easy access via a lift to our level, as it was a weekend away for our mums Mother’s Day gift and she cannot use stairs. The rooms were excellent, clean and with an amazing water view. Easy access to Soldiers Club and shops. We had breakfast at the Ebb & Flow and the service and food was great. We will return!
