We had a small issue at check in that was quickly resolved (leaking fridge had caused the carpet to get wet and smelly). We were immediately moved to another room that was great! Room had limited USB outlets so remember to bring your power converter for any North American style power cords. Hotel location is awesome if you want to be right in the centre of all the action. Tons of restaurants, easy walking to shopping, stores, the list goes on. The area has a great vibe, the night market is just down the street, boardwalk and ocean right across. Hotel rooftop patio is great for drinks anytime of day. We didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food. Overall a great hotel that we would stay at again!

This is a great choice right in the heart of the promenade area. Lagoon is literally steps away out front, tons of restaurants all around. Convenience store just around corner and short walk to big Woolworths. Room was comfortable and well designed (we got the deluxe with two twins) with a nice separate sitting area and table/chairs. Good value for money and lovely staff!
