Cons:

Was extremely disappointing when the parking shown on website was a public car park next door. It ruined about 3 hours of our afternoon having to sort out parking because it was full

Great location, lovely room, great dinner!
Pros:

Room was lovely, great view of the showground.
Shower was great, well equipped - but no shower gel in the shower.
Bed was comfy, bit soft for my liking.
Coffee machine great.
Parking right next door very good, although expensive and no discount for hotel guests.

Cons:

Having paid $300 for the room, plus another $60 for breakfast, it seems really unfair that we have to pay for water at $6 per bottle from the room minibar. In many other hotels of a similar ilk, the water in the room is free.
