One night only!
Pros:

Easy check in. Dehumidifier in room and in hallways, etc. Good to see. Air-con worked excellent.

Cons:

The breakfast is continental only, so if you are gluten intolerant, be warned. Waste of money as I had a bowl of cornflakes. No FREE parking. Sparse facilities, i.e no microwave, have to fill the kettle in the bath tub as the sink is to shallow. If you advertise FOXTEL, have it, not one option on it. A lot of noise from adjacent rooms.
