Pros:

Big room space.
The room is very clean.
There is beautiful city view.

Cons:

My family is assigned a exellent disabled-friendly room, but:
There are no hooks or tables in the bathroom, and the towel shelf space is limited.
The washstand table is small for three family members.
All the used towels are heaped up together after housekeeping on the second day, and I can't tell which is mine :).

Pros:

Breakfast was not available at the agreed rate at time
Of booking - staff were rude and unhelpful. They wanted to increase the price by double the agreed $25 agreed rate per person to $48.50 claiming public holiday and pre booking needed. Never mentioned at time of booking and a bit annoyed as this was the final morning of my stay

Cons:

Staff were rude
