Most meal and bar outlets are not in main building but across a small adjoining lane way which wasn't explained and I didn't discover until breakfast. So dinner was somewhere else. Overall, good value ...

Fabulous view of the CBD and the Sky Tower from the 13th floor. Washer and Dryer was useful. But a couple of dirty towels was left behind in the dryer. Also the bed runner was very dirty, but thankfully the rest of the bed was ok.
