Good place to stay during the Ekka

We stay each year for 1 night during the Ekka, We book a arena view room on the top floor, the rooms are great and the view excellent, this year unfortunately the bed was uncomfortable and too soft, also the sheets used kept riding up off the mattress making for an interupted sleep, the restaurant and staff are great, will stay again

Room great if only using to sleep in bed was comfortable. Had buffet breakfast for both days that stayed plenty to choose from on buffet but found the food wasn’t really hot both days I ate and on the second day didn’t even see anyone checking the hot food to see if there was anything that needed to be topped up even if was only a small amount to get through the next hour or so
