The fact that I was unable to rectify my booking details after I put in the wrong date for the second room I booked, therefor had leave the booking as I would not like to lose my money if I cancel it. The was no views to the city from the room I was in. This suggest that really, potluck reviews because someone else will look at it from a different angle!

숙소는 5성급답게 깔끔하고 서비스는 최고였음. 매일 침구 정돈을 해주면서 아이의 잠자리 인형을 예쁘게 놔주기도 함. 한국인 직원분이 계셔서 짐이 많았는데 옮기기도 편하고 우버 이용도 쉬웠음. 야외수영장도 이용하기 편히며 온수풀이 있어서 몸을 녹이기 좋았음 위치가 중심가는 아니지만 달링하버쪽 구경히기에 적격이며 해양박물관에서 3분 정도 거리임. 바로 앞에 콜스가 있어서 장보기도 좋음. 가족관광객에게 강추함
