Where to start, we stayed with a group of friends for a wedding, across 5 rooms the experience was all identical:
- The furniture and rooms are pooly maintained, wood veneers peeling off, dusty, etc
- The previously free minibar is now even more overpriced than usual ($10.50 for 150g of peanuts for example)
- The tap fell off repeatedly in the shower
- The shower has a shelf, that is angled forward so far that any bottles will slide right off
- The blackout blinds are in 2 pieces with a large gap, and several inches off the window so they don't block out anything
- The staff were short, rude and unhelpful mostly
- When going to get a late-ish breakfast (10am) we were offered the buffet for $35, we ordered the accompanying egg and coffee, then when we turned around the buffet was gone. Apparently they started packing up the buffet 20 minutes after we arrived and didn't warn us that we should hurry to get the food in time. They also forgot to make our coffees.
- The room service is very overpriced, $30 plus a $5 room service fee for some guacamole (about 1 avocado worth) and half a packet of store bought corn chips, at least the guacamole was decent
- The area is just far enough outside the CBD you'll be paying $30 for an uber to get in there, or walking quite a distance; alternatively the bus out the front was ok
- There's really not much near the hotel, it's in a little dead zone just near the inner city
