Terrific position, but disappointing room. No cupboard or shelves to put clothing. King bed is too singles pushed together, which moved apart during the night. Rats in roof which kept us awake with their gnawing within the ceiling, which might explain the off smell when we entered, thus needing to open all doors. TV only has movies, so we couldn't watch the news, Big Bash or tennis. There were no instruction booklets on how to use the TV or Aircon. Overpriced.
