It was a lovely stay. The room was clean and perfect for single or couple. Convention centre is just next door, DFO is right opposite to it, Crown Casino and tram stop are of walkable distance. Overall, I was happy with it.

Disliked: Staff & service
必要最低限のサービスが提供される感じです。イメージよりも上回ったサービスは冷蔵庫に子供用の牛乳が入っていたくらいでしょうか。 クローゼットの中の金庫が使えなかったので対応をお願いしたらすごく嫌な感じで結局来てくれず。 ルームクリーニングも大体何かが足りてないか忘れています。コップが片付いていなかったり、リネンの補充が人数分なかったり、なぜかベッドメイク後に枕を戻し忘れていたり。 コンベンションセンターと繋がっているためビジネスマン向けなのでファミリーフレンドリーではないのはまあしょうがないかなという感じですが、あまり満足感はありませんでした。 DFOというショッピングモールもついていますが、結構ガラの悪い人しかいない感じなので、雰囲気の良さを求めるなら微妙かもしれません。

The convenience was great. The staff were amazing. Breakfast was handy and smooth running. My only pain point was that my ‘king’ bed was two single pushed together which meant sleeping in the middle of the king bed wasn’t what I was expecting I paid for…
