Nice hotel with really nice facilities. The only downside is that the rooms are too dark with black walls and not good lighting. There’s no chrome cast which is a bit annoying. Other than that the gym is good, and the spa area is amazing!

SO Disappointing.
Great location, very cool hotel, and some thoughtful touches like complimentary mini-bar. BUT: curtains closed leaving large gaps, so room was light, not double glazed so lots of road/people noise (2nd floor room), toilet had a sliding door that was shared with the shower, so you could only use one at a time, and the door didn't close fully so no privacy. We had a balcony, which could have been nice, but it was very sad, only had one chair, some dead plants, and nothing really dividing our balcony from the next room.

After booking months ago to go here for our 21st wedding anniversary which we were looking forward to as we have always wanted to stay here , we ended up extremely disappointed . Before arrival we checked our booking and realised that had we booked on the day it would have cost $1000 less which to us seemed extremely unfair, we voiced our opinion on check in and the manager basically blamed Expedia and told us to suck it up, not sure who to be more disappointed in but we will most definitely never stay here again and feel like we have been scammed by Expedia
