A terrible night. Fire alarm going off and police banging on the door next door. No staff available to contact. No forma
Cons:

Fire alarm going off at 1:45am and not one staff was contactable. For almost two hours. Police banging on the door of the next room. Was a horrible experience.

Excellent staff and facilities, handy to have a bar and restaurant on site.
Pros:

So much value for such a low price - lots of little convenient touches like cereal and milk, microwave, and the ability to order drinks delivered to the room.

Cons:

Nothing.

Underrated gem!
Pros:

Possibly the best staff experience I've had. Super helpful and friendly when we checked in explaining best transport options etc. Room was very clean, well equipped with a quiet aircon and renovated bathroom.

Cons:

Bed was a bit uncomfortable and probably due for a replacement, but it was acceptable for the night. The curtains didn't overlap and let sunshine in, but apart from that, zero complaints!

Not great.
Pros:

Staff were friendly

Cons:

Having to check in at "the bar" after a long trip from Cairns was tiring in itself. Well, I stood in a line for ages to be served, only to be told I was at the wrong part of the bar for check ins. Then I had to move just round the corner and wait another 5 minutes to be seen (It was dinner time and the 3 staff that were on were expected to serve drinks, take meal orders, AND do the hotel check ins). Staff were good and were friendly. Just slammed as were very understaffed.
I was told I could order room service through a QR code in the room. This didn't work properly. You couldn't put your room number into it, so again I had to go back down to the bar to order food.
There was old soap still in the shower when I checked in, no tissues and only 3 packets of coffee. On my second day the coffee wasn't even replaced, and I had to grab some off the cleaner's trolley.
Lot's of small things but it all adds up. Wasnt cheap either being $475 for 2 nights stay in a very dated building. At least the TV was a great size lol
