The hotel is ideally located, close to everything, including the event I was attending, and provides easy access to the Eastern Suburbs beaches. It offers a comparable experience to dining at a high-quality restaurant. The rooms are spacious and modern, but the dining options could include more fresh vegetables. The hotel has a friendly and accommodating staff, but there are opportunities to enhance the facilities further.
