Pros:

离繁华的街区很近, 周围有餐厅, 大超市, 公交车站. 酒店的位置算是闹中取静. 房间比较大.

Cons:

可能因为是酒店式公寓的原因, 门外的走廊地面不太干净, 应该是从住户的垃圾或食品袋中洒出来的. 房间里一个窗帘坏了.

Spacious apartment in good location.
Pros:

Spacious apartment in good location. When problems arose, they were resolved. Handy to have washer/dryer as we were travelling to the National Parks. Breakfast adequate, but could be better. Additional fee for parking.

Pros:

The apartment was spacious and well appointed. A great spot to recharge and wash clothes before heading to the Kimberley.

Cons:

The view from the 26th floor was amazing but way too high for me, particularly when I was woken by the room shaking due to an earthquake!

Beautiful accomodation, friendly, helpful staff, good food.
Pros:

Breakfast was fairy good as far as a continental breakfast goes. Orange juice would have been good. (Was available a couple of days ago then pineapple).Roomy, beautiful views, very helpful staff, very comfortable bed , nice restaurant.

Cons:

There was an odour in our room for the entire time. Smell was chemically or musky. Had the AC deodorised but didn’t fix the problem.
TV picture was unwatchable for up to 10minutes but cleared after that.
