Pros:

It is centrally located in Southbank to a variety of restaurants and attractions, the heated pool and spa were relaxing and large

Cons:

Parking can be an issue, when we checked on google it stated parking fees were $30 a day when we parked pricing was $39 a day and you were charged a full day on the morning we left so a 3 day getaway cost us for a 4 day day parking
