10/10 Excellent
"The room was lovely, beautiful, smells amazing. Easy access to the pool which I loved. The staff was amazing! Helpful, polite, prompt in resolving things - bedside lamp was not working, came to replace. You also need to ask the staff how to connect the TV to your hotspot if you want to watch Youtube / netflix. It is not a given even though it is a smart TV. I think these information could be mentioned upfront to guests, and not wait for them to ask. The initiative would be great. Only small issue when I checked in, there was a used towel behind the shower door, i reckon house keeping did not do a thorough check. Otherwise, the reception took on the feedback really well and promptly. I checked in late arvo, the cafe did not have much snack options to dine, the top restaurant /bar is only opened 5pm? So i have to wait. Pizza was amazing! Oh parking was abit of a meh when I was trying to find the hotel. They only gave directions to the parking after I circled around twice and parked across the streets, to go in and enquire. I would appreciate parking directions to be made known / informed prior to arriving - perhaps information can be send to email first etc. Once I got the info, the parking was easy. It's just hidden."

"The room was great! Clean, lovely! Could have smelt better? A little musky in the room. The walk way to the room noticeably has poo from what I guess is the possums. I saw them at night. For hygiene wise i'd recommend the hotel to give the walk ways a clean. Pool is amazing. Staff is lovely. Breakfast was good variety, but not entirely value for $39. Car park to the room is abit of a distance, could have use some help but it did not seem to have anyone to help when I checked in. So i did two trips on my own. The grilled fish at the restaurant was surprisingly very delicious!"
