Did the job.
Pros:

Elevators were fast- good connections and close to the Expo centre and southbank walking area.

Cons:

Bed was shit - bathroom has no shaving mirror - lighting both bathroom and room - was terrible and switches too many too complicated. Had one light on the mirror flicker. No hand held shower. No bidet. ( that would be terrible for O/S Guests)
Breakfast was overprice for the same thing you get at say a Novotel in the suburbs

The hotel is okay for up to four nights.
Pros:

Good location, and the hotel is okay in principle.

Cons:

The 11th floor is reached by street noise, especially at night.
I haven't used the pool as it was full of hair the last time I tried.
