Yes the room was clean and the staff were courteous. However we were very disappointed that having booked the room in February nearly nine months before occupancy and that our booking was for five (5) nights that a room with a view and higher up the level would have been more appropriate, rather than one overlooking the air conditioners. Regards David Leabeater.

Great rooms and bathrooms, good size. Rooms need to be vacuumed more often. Was disappointed in the breakfast buffet, for the standard of the hotel this was a let down.

Hi, the room was very good / excellent apart from one major distraction. Sadly, for me, the bed was too soft. As I suffer with back problems this can cause major problems.

You can’t go past a Crown hotel - they have never been but excellent for us in each state. Staff were excellent and the room was spacious. Central location so walkable to everything. The only odd thing I would say is there is a blind that you can open/close that separates the bathroom and everything…I don’t think I want to be watching anyone on the toilet
