I was very disappointed to find out that the pool was closed for renovations. I believe this should have been mentioned on this site, as I was looking forward to lying by the pool. I complained to the check in staff and they upgraded me into a nicer room.

Great service from reception staff, the only problem is that there’s indigenous people shouting and yelling in front of the river till late at night.

Good night's sleep, room clean, bed made up every day since i was there. The aircon was cut off at 3.00pm the 2nd night however it did not worry me. Overall, I had 3nights of good sleep.
I checked in at 2:30pm Sunday afternoon and the male staff who was rostered on very nice, friendly and made me feel very welcome.

A good overnight stay.
Had a good overnight stay.
Nice room with space and mini kitchen facilities. Good size fridge.
Food is excellent in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast.
Staff are lovely.
The only problem was finding the way to the front entrance to unload, due to the road system in the city.
Parking ok at $15 but you need to check in first and unload before parking.
A good stay.

Breakfast was a little underwhelming, my first day there was fairly busy and with just one coffee machine there was a big queue. By the time I got to the front the coffee had run out and the one member of staff that was about was rushing around clearing tables and checking people in and out. By the time I got back to my table my breakfast was cold.
Also, perhaps a minor thing but the bedroom had no light switch near the door, I arrived late at night and ended up using the torch on my iPhone to find the light switch which was next to the bed.

Parking was an issue. To pull over for reception was a problem. Then using the multi car park for parking as the Hotel parking was full was an effort with luggage as I just had a new hip replacement. Accommodation was great.

Another Great Stay
We have stayed here a few times this year. The hotel is in a convenient location to the Cowboys Club and Stadium and there is parking available, which is a plus.
The service was a big improvement on our last stay. We were able to pre-book parking and were also given vouchers for breakfast and vouchers for two coffees, which was a lovely surprise. We enjoyed Happy Hour drinks in the bar, which has a nice ambience.
The hotel is old, but the beds are really comfy, the rooms are extremely spacious and housekeeping does an excellent job. The public areas of the hotel are always spotless.
