Beautiful outlook from Harbourside unit, excellent front of house service, generally staff were very polite, helpful and accommodating.The unit was a bit dated and needed some sprucing up especially in bathroom where there were traces of mould in tiles. Daily room service was sporadic, one day very clean and tidy the next, untidy or not done at all. Breakfast had great options but buffet hot food was only luke warm, dinner menu had limited options but cooked well, bar staff were excellent. Outdoor facilities were lovely, ambience good, were in flight path so a bit noisy at times. The pool was quite cold most days and sunny days were limited. Quite a distance to walk into CBD. Overall an average stay.
