Perfect location for my event at the Exhibition Centre, close to great eateries and wine bars. The 2BR 2 bathroom layout gave us privacy and space. Will stay again and can highly recommend!

Great location, loved our stay, would have liked a smart tv or tv that we could watch a DVD.
Loved the pool and spa although some of our group complained that the pool was too cold.
Great views.
Can pay for parking which was convenient. Walking distance to crown was great.
Would stay again.

Room very clean. Good view from room (river view room). Prob great for medium term stay- has pretty much everything incl stovetop, oven, big fridge/freezer, and laundry machine with dryer as well. This is apartment , not hotel, so no routine daily servicing. Location great- convenience store just downstairs, eateries plenty, and tram station 2min walk, train station 5min walk
