There was no room service available for the whole weekend we were there and no uber eats in those days. Made it hard with a kid and one parent. Great room, awesome bed, great view. Still not worth what we paid though

A great room with an amazing view! Even though it’s by the road, it was very quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable bed and nice lounge. My room had a wrap around balcony and it was a pleasant surprise.

The location is great, however, you can't use the verandah from dusk until dawn. Instead of sitting outside watching the harbour/river inlet at dusk and night, you must go inside and close the blockout curtains as the very, very, very bright lights illuminating the Esplanade signage are oppresively bright on the verandahs and stay on until dawn. The shower needs some silicon as the plummer and tiler have channeled the water around the drain to the centre of the bathroom (genius).

Loved the view and most of the setup. Bathroom was scarey with steps up and so close to the toilet door dangerous No door on the bathroom and shower floor sloped the wrong way to allow water to drain.
