Overall hotel was good but as it is mentioned for easy parking, unfortunate there is no hotel parking available. Have to park on the street and the stairs going under the next road. And it is unsafe to park there as there has been a lot of theft reported for the hotel guest vehicles. Car parking should be improved for the tourist & guest for their safety.

My first room’s AC wouldn’t turn on. When the receptionist tried turning the switch on/off the switch fell apart. I was told she’d change my room. I was given two options - one sea-view room with a noisy AC or a silent AC with concrete buildings as view. I chose to bear the noisy AC which I think hadn’t been serviced in years because it started blowing/leaking water when I turned turbo on. Overall, I had an average time at James Cook Hotel because I was only in Suva for one night to attend a workshop. The major disappointments were that the hotels restaurant closed early ( 9pm?) and nearby restaurants closed at 9, or 10 pm which I am not accustomed to. The other disappointment was the buffet breakfast with limited things of my preference to eat. Definitely an average place to stay if you only have one night to spend.

They had no television during the Olympics so I had to leave That's the only reason I love the place other than that and Sarah and the bartender at check in was wonderful I don't like that you can't bring your own booze policy and all their stupid rules that you wouldn't know about until you got in your room and read the book if I get charged for anything extra we got a problem.
