Overall stay was nice, and relaxing
Pros:

The breakfast was wonderful thank you

Cons:

The showers has residue build up around crevices. Maybe a deep clean 1x per week in detailing areas would make a nice difference. Otherwise all was good

Don't recommend
Pros:

The location is very good

Cons:

I booked a superior king room and was allocated one on the 3rd floor (326)
The room was very noisy
The bed was 2 single beds pushed together - one mattress v soft and on a lean, the other was higher and v uncomfortable/ could feel the springs, and consequently I didn't sleep
None of the power points in the room or the plug in lights or AC or phone worked which I discovered only after getting into the uncomfortable bed, so went to reception for help and was asked if I had used the kettle (I had not), and the staff member followed me back to the room and reset the fuse box as a fuse had blown
I paid $198 for the night in this room and was very very disappointed, and will not return.
Even if the noise and fuse wasn't an issue the basic element of a hotel room is a comfortable bed - this is supposedly a 4.5 star hotel
