Although the hotel is being renovated it had very little impact on our stay. Room was large and very modern. Beds made and clean towels every day. Continental breakfast was more than enough.

Our only problem was the VERY noisy extractor fan in the bathroom which we dealt with pretty well by closing the door. But there was another noise which I think may have been the air-conditioner. No problem with the renovations. Looking forward to seeing the results. Very good location with free Loop Bus across the road & walk to casino and bridge to Southbank.
