This time the renovations impacted my stay.
Pros:

I stay here often and previous experience has been good even with ongoing renovations

Cons:

Renovations have changed the entry. I rang the bell twice and then had to knock loudly to get the attention of the lady on the desk. During my stay the noisy renovation work started very early circa 7am. When I went to use elevator around 8am the hall was filled with fine dust/particles from tradesperson cutting in stairwell with doors open. It made me cough for quite a while.

It was an okay stay, considering we only stayed for one night and the renovations are still ongoing.
Pros:

It was closer to the casino and Southbank

Cons:

You can hear people on both sides of the room.

Would stay again if travelling alone and after renovations are completed.
Pros:

Bed comfortable and room serviced well. Nice to have enough space for the suitcases. Good location.

Cons:

Undergoing extensive renovations. Bit off-putting having breakfast in the entry foyer. Electrical cords run through the corridors not safely. Ensuite small, more suited to single than couple.
