Mixed experience

Early check-in was excellent. Room was small but had great amenities including fridge and microwave. Credit card surcharge of 3.5% was excessive. Breakfast buffet had good selection but cooked buffet element poor quality. Cold runny scrambled eggs, fatty undercooked bacon, tasteless sausages

Friendly staff and good facilities. Near top of hill on main road into CBD, so easy 15/20 minute walk to CBD/waterfront but take bus or taxi to avoid walk up hill. Limited good restaurants in close area but OK for quick/burger style. Small supermarkets very close.

one of the female receptionists were really not helpful and kinda rude, I checked in the evening at 3rd Jan 2025. I was struggling with the WIFI as it was connected, but can't access the internet. The log in screen popped out only on the reception area, but not in my level (level 3). When I was trying to talk that to the receptionist, first I have to wait 2 minutes before she hang up her mobile phone and stop giggling. Her phone conversation, from what I heard, seemed a private/random chat. And when I explained to her, she said "OK, come down to the receiption area and use the WIFI there". My god, does she realise the customers books a hotel nor for going to the lobby to use the hotels' WIFI? She also said, "talk to the receptionist tomorrow when I am not in charge". The second day when I talk this WIFI issue to another male receptionist, he solved the problem by just resetting the router and he literally described what the issue is and how he can solve the problem.

I was disappointed by the beds, they were supose to be double bed, but it was just two single beds stuck together and was very uncomfortable. The spec was much smaller than expected. The shower was disappointing as well, the shower head was very outdated.

Very disappointed with the VR booked a hotel room for the Travis Scott concert and the date was changed. The VR refused to help and change date. I had a disappointed son. I have stayed numerous times at the hotel and was a loyal customer but not any more.
