I was told I should have booked direct to get a better room rather than go through booking.com. Overpriced. Shoukd have
Pros:

Not a lot!
Dated and badly decorated and need of refurbishment on the outside. Unfortunately now the main highway is right outside your window

Cons:

Terrible room overlooking the carpark. And trains going past. Double glazing helped but still noisy.

Trading on the view, won’t stay there again.
Pros:

Great view

Cons:

Staff in restaurant for dinner quite rude.
Set price of $95 for 2 course meal per person is way to excessive for menu offered.

Never again
Pros:

Food attendant Shay was very friendly and helpful and made sure we were looked after

Cons:

The property was dirty and not taken care of, rubbish in the room, scuff marks on the wall and most windows throughout the property dirty - which is odd given the biggest asset the property has is its view.

Very average and below expectations
Pros:

Location and view

Cons:

For the room type and cost per night I would have thought items such as slippers, bath robe, toothbrush would have been provided. The window providing the view was dirty. Given this was the main motivator for th room and one of the key stated feature this window should be kept clean. It made the whole room feel dirty and not well maintained. The food at the hotel rtestaurant must have been prepared by a cook not a chef.

Cons:

The room we had was a little small.
