Lovely Harbour View!

The harbour view from my room was amazing. I found the staff very nice and helpful. Convenient parking was available, I did appreciate that. The room service breakfast with a view of the harbour bridge was amazing too.
The hotel is built on top of the metro line and, despite my room being on level 8, the vibration and noise were disruptive. The hotel offered earplugs as a solution to guests.

The location was acceptable. It was easy enough to get around.
I found quite a bit of dust in the room. Some areas clearly never see a cleaning cloth. the bathtub and curtains desperately need deep cleaning.
