Lovely fresh look, MCM vibe, tasty and fast meals, amazing view, clean room, courteous and non invasive staff and good overall experience. Great shower. The obligatory milk, tea, coffee, and bikkies. Unseasonably warm day meant I didn’t sleep as cool as I’d have liked. Used the pedestal fan supplied.
