comfortable and relaxing
Pros:

Great location, easy walk to the octagon and my conference venue. Nice and quiet

Cons:

The cost of breakfast from the buffet was expensive - I had muesli, yoghurt and fruit and paid $40. Perhaps an option for cereal only at a lower price is warranted.

Overall good - would return again
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, room good

Cons:

Went down for dinner (had a baby with us) and the restuarant was not very full yet we were told that we couldn't be served for at least 1.5hours as the kitchen was very busy. We ordered in UBER eats which was a bit disappointing.
Maybe they were short of kitchen staff but not sure what the issue was.
