Cons:

We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed everything about it except the fire alarm went off on 2 occasions, once at 2.30am.
False alarms of course but frightening to wake up to.

The place did a basic job for me for a solo, one week stay but was far from inspiring for the money.
Pros:

Fantastic location

Cons:

The place is very tired and badly needs an update. The restaurant is very ordinary. The carpark is very squeezy and difficult to negotiate and yet you have to pay an additional $19 per night to use it!

Loved our stay, we stayed at Zen last time and Mantra was by far better and less expensive.
Pros:

The lay out of the room, I liked having carpet rather than tiles, very roomy

Cons:

fridge door didn;t shut properly, there was no tea towel for dishes only dishwasher, bu these were so minor , too minor to worry about

Pros:

Staff were responsive when we had issues with our toilet and offered a room upgrade

Cons:

That the toilet was leaking after each flush, changed rooms to have the fridge door not close properly and cockroaches in the kitchen and bathroom
Pillows were hard and lumpy

Donot know how to running a major hotel
Pros:

Not mch at all

Cons:

Not much after the process for booking in was 1.45hrs waiting time
2pm check-in was clearly a joke

On observation of the cleaning staff,that had not been advised the the up coming youth games were on the date of the booking and early start for room attendants wold have been needed to cope with the following days fully book shedule

It started like this approched the customer care reps at counter and was told straight away that there was only one room clean and available to check in
After asking why was to room had not been cleaned and more time would be needed to service the room before the 2nd room could be ready....On asking the question regarding why was told due to the youth games that the room in question had a late check out and please be patiant it should not be long
Was handed the key to the one available
On entry to the room i notice the booked room with balcony was only a standard room without a balcony
I then approched thd servicd counter and asked why this was a standed room and not a baloney room in which was payed for on both apt when booked
Now this was reachinhg the time of waiting to 1hour 45min
Was addvised that waitinv in the room is ok
While the sorted other guests and the rooms in question

Now reaching the 2hr make again retruned to the service desk in which the perviuos reps were now different empolyees and had to expain the situation all over again
WAS TOLD DUE TO THE SITE INSPECTION THAT THE ROOM STILL IS NOT AVAILABLE
I QUESTIOND WHY AND WAS TO THE UNIT WAS FR SALE AND A SITE BUYER INSPECTION IS BEING PREFORMED
This is unexceptable to book this in at a checkin time of 2 pm
On observation the enite guess book ins,the guess es of thd hotel fill the foyer
Very bad lied to customer and couldnt preform their duties as a hotel

I will not go to this hotel in future
From 1 -10.... i give it a -1 for staff and a 1 for the rest

Probably wouldn't stay there again
Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

Room was dated and door missing on cupboard.
Buffet breakfast was well below average. They only had bread plates which could literally only fit a slice of bread, food was cold and unappealing. They didn't even have butter for toast. Only went once and didn't bother going the next day is was so bad.
