Did not like not having the option for an adjustable shower head.
Room was noisy especially when the extractor for the bathroom was on.

Choose a different hotel
Pros:

The hotel seems new and modern, the room ia nicely equipped and the bathroom is spacious.

Cons:

Even though it is a 4 star hotel, front office closed at 6 pm, without letting guests know. I even sent the hotel an email whether it would be ok to check in at 7 pm. I didn’t receive an email however.
When I wanted to check in, front office was closed and there was a sheet on the entrance door with 2 different numbers that you could call for an “emergency”. As I don’t have an Australian telephone number, I had to ask another guest to call the number. The first number didn’t work and the second number had us on hold for 15 minutes. The lady on the phone asked for ALL credit card information before she let me know there is a key box holding my key. I wasn’t informed via text or call that the key would be in a box before. I eventually got into the hotel. As many other guests stated, the rooms are not very clean. There is also a restaurant but it is under construction from August until November… even though it is already March.
