Pros:

The service from staff and buffet breakfast

Cons:

No swimming pool and the odd lobby that wasnt reception.
The water pressure was pretty weak as well so it was hard to enjoy the shower.

Great location, but very expensive.
Pros:

Really close to shops and convention centre

Cons:

Waaaay too expensive for what it was. $140 for 2 people for breakfast for 2 mornings to just have some toast and a bit of eggs, parking was $60 a night! I prepaid so it was $90 for all 3 days but you can't leave during that time.
