The staff were not very friendly. Most hotels will give you a late check out as a courtesy if flight changes happen. We were told in very strict terms it was $50 per extra hour. This does not engender good will or a good recommendation. We managed to get an extra half hour which made no difference. Breakfast range looked very unappealing and mean therefore we chose to go out for breakfast. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Awful. Seated for breakfast with no seats available, told to sit in the lobby without cutlery, then there was no food for the continental breakfast!!! The room is unclean with stains and marks in the carpet, the tiles in the shower have come lose and have water the squish’s out when you stand on it. We wanted valet parking which it said they offer, they said our car was to large, we have a standard Hilux Ute which is a very standard size car. When I asked to cancel the second day’s breakfast because I was not impressed with the first days they didn’t offer a refund they said there’s nothing they can do because of booking through a 3rd party which is not true. They gave us $25 off parking which breakfast was $28 per person so didn’t refund the value at all. DONT STAY HERE. Awful service, awful stay. Also the aircon in the room is super loud and can’t sleep. Do way better in every area.
