It’s ok
Pros:

Good garden at the front.

Cons:

The entrance can be better. It’s tucked away in a lil corner. A couple of times we missed the exit as the entrance was so narrow. Ha!

Good mostly where it needs to be. Could offer more to the traveller with a bit of planing.
Pros:

Is this a good hotel? Sure. Facilities are modern, the building is clean and tidy and the service is good. It is..... at best, a quality beige experience. Nothing bad, nothing amazing, everything as good as it should be. You can't do wrong with this hotel.
Considering its location though there's a few things that would make it better. Planning with parking would be good, as like many others I drove here straight after getting off the ferry. Got an EV? This would be a perfect location to have a charging capacity at your hotel - something that there's increasingly more of in the state.
The staff are friendly and accomodating, and the facilities are excellent. It's telling however that I didn't take any photos of my stay as I usually do. It didn't so much feel like a hotel as much as a nice liminal space.

Pros:

Excellent hotel very convenient to LGH and only a short walk to CBD. rooms are well.ppointed and comfortable. Food is excellent.

Cons:

Beds were slightly firmer than we like, but that is typical of most Australian hotels it seems.
