Sharon Australia

I love the staff particularly in the reception and Cafe Sunrise. They are very friendly, warm, and accommodating. They go above and beyond to cater for my needs especially Ms. Kim S. at the reception who's always checking on me to ensure I'm having the best experience during my stay. They've also given me a free room upgrade with a very spectacular water and mountain view from the balcony. The location of the hotel was also perfect. I can easily access the shops, the foreshore boardwalk, and the reef terminal amongst others as they were all within comfortable walking distance from the hotel. Nice, clean and spacious rooms and bathroom, the bed was super comfy, zero issues with noise hence I was able to relax and sleep well at night.
