The place not to stay

This hotel is awful. The service for breakfast, bar service and room service is very poor. The standard of cleaning is disgusting. Many friends we were travelling with checked out to other hotels. I'm not usually one to complain but the standards in this hotel are terrible. I'd never come again. I would have moved hotels too but evething is booked out for the Grand Prix.

Not a palace...

Failed attempt at luxury. Check in was at 2pm. My room wasn't ready until 4:30pm. Didn't have towels. Towels came 2hrs later. Bath mats came on the 2nd day. Toiletries and hand towels arrived on the 3rd day. They demanded a full deposit on check in higher than the actual rate I booked it at. What was good? Big rooms. If you need a lot of space. Central location. Genuinely friendly staff I was with my family and it would have been a big logistics hassle to walk out and find somewhere else, but I should have. Avoid this one.

Pros: Every part of this hotel is 5-start. The ambiance, the rooms, the cleanliness, the facilities, the position and the helpfulness of the staff.
Cons: The hotel food and drink prices are expensive. Better to go out to eat. Also, get a room on a higher floor as the traffic is noisy at night.
Location: Perfect
Facilities: Good; Value: Fantastic; Service: Flawless; Cleanliness: Immaculate; Though not on the Waterfront, the walk is only a small one and there is an awesome shopping centre (inc. a variety of restaurants) across the park.
