I was pretty annoyed about a few things. the hot water was inconsistent. It took ages for it to warm up in the shower (it shouldn't happen at this price). the pool area was also a letdown. it looked tired and some areas needed a serious scrub. Definitely not the relaxing vibe i was hoping for.

the hotel's proximity to the cbd was so convenient , and the botanical gardens right next door were a bonus. my room provided amazing views of the river and story bridge , a wonderful sight to wake up to. the gym , pool , and sauna were great to have available.

the parking situation was a bit frustrating , i paid for it but the public car park was great. the phone in my room was set to 'do not disturb' , this made ordering room service difficult. it was disappointing to not receive anything complimentary for the trouble.
