I had to stay there for couple days whe Qantas decided to ground their planes for a weekend in November 2011.
Hotel is placed not far away from the airport, it shares the site with Intercontinental, casino and a sport venue.
Lots of food venues to choose from, I opted for Sirocco restaurant for my all my meals.
Hearty servings, meat cooked to order.
Infinity pool at the back, small but comfortable, with a view at the golfcourse where Tiger Woods coached local VIPs how to putt, recently
Cigarettes vending machine in the bar wasn't working for the time I stayed there and nobody seemed to be bothered with that(trying to help people quit, maybe?)
At the lobby there is not only a reception, but also proper consierge desk, where you can get help and advice on almost anything.
Since I had a lot of free time, I wanted to see some real Oz.
I have asked for directions to local ZOO, but I was advised to visit the Woodman's wildlfe park instead as it was to be more interactive than your regular ZOO.
I was grinning like a Cheshire cat once I got there: you can cuddle the coalas, feed kangaroos, meet with wombat etc- a lot of fun for kids and adults alike :)
They sell Ausie electric adaptors at the concierge desk(15 AUD), but I have managed to rent mine paying nothing more than a big smile. I had only to promise to give it back when I check out :)
I stayed there couple weeks later as well when waiting for the plane and personnel was as friendly and helpful as before.
Oh, and they provide you with choice of soft and medium pillow on your bed as well.
Room Tip: Mine was with a view at the car park(309 as far as I remember) but I had to close the curtains anywa...
