Tv and internet was slow and not working properly. Air-conditioning was permanently set on 20 but the room never went below 25 degrees which made for a very hot and restless night. Tv in bedroom was tiny Bathroom was beautiful though with amazing water pressure.

Did not get the room that I pre-paid and booked online. I was put into a standard room instead of the Executive Suite that I had on my reservation. The hotel could not move me the first night so I needed to check out of the standard room by 10 the next morning and put my bags in the car and check back in later the next day at 4 for the correct room. They compensated me with breakfast the next morning.

We stayed for a week as part of TeamUSA and then went to Cairns for a week and then came back for a night. While we were in Cairns, they held onto our larger luggage in storage and when we got back, we asked if they had a scale to weigh our re-packed luggage. The front desk person got her scale from her home on her break and brought it back for us to use! Amazing customer service!
