We frequently stay at this hotel but were disappointed this time when our $399 room (for one night) had a broken shower. We found this out in the morning when we went to use it! Very disappointing that this had not been picked up by the cleaner or reported by the previous guest. Waste of money!

Stayed at a FIFO camp
The compact room was nice enough but reminded me of a worker camp. Shuttle to the airport was prompt as I got it just as some FIFO workers were heading over for a early morning flight. The restaurant was busy and had table service but the staff didn't seem to have sections as I had different servers asking if I needed to order.

We got a free upgrade to one of their new suites and it was incredible! The TV wasn’t working yet which was a shame but we still had a great time.
