Good sized room, great location.
Pros:

Room was a good size. Great location.

Cons:

Definitely not what I expected from a 4 star hotel - the room was ok, but curtains were dirty, bathroom had mould etc. We paid AUD460 for the night - same room next night was 220 and I think that is more reflective of what the room should cost.

The Fairview Boutique Hotel
Pros:

I recently stayed here over the weekend and had a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the standard of cleanliness throughout the property was exceptional. My room was spotless and very well-maintained.What really made the stay memorable, however, was the staff. Every team member I encountered was incredibly attentive, polite, and eager to help with any request. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and stress-free getaway. I will definitely be returning!
