Comfortable and great staff
Pros:

It was clean quiet and comfortable
The restaurant food is wonderful

Cons:

The price is exorbitant and the TV had exactly 3 local channels. Wifi was really patchy.
For over $300 a night that’s not good enough

Pros:

The bed was very good, shower was good too.

Cons:

Airco was terrible, old model, very very noisy. TV did not work, internet slow and the breakfast was the worse I ever had, toast and instant coffee and the fruit was a platter from the day before. 338 australian dollars for a double room ended up being a rip off.
