            Good Location

            We had a 2 roomed unit overlooking the Esplanade - the unit had been updated, and was very nice. As there were no dining facilities (only breakfast), it would have been useful to have had a small 2 burner hotplate. A microwave, crockery & cutlery...More

            Stayed at the hotel in June. Weather was nice - 70 degree F. Very clean rooms. Nothing over the top. Convenient kitchenette. Everything worked in the room. Only a few blocks from everything you would need.

            Yes, although it wasn't very fast in my room. It was also pretty readily available in the nearby downtown area as well, particularly around the Night Market area.

            What is the wifi like, I.e. is it available in all rooms or just common areas of the hotel? Also, is the wifi free or if not what is the daily charge?

            The wifi is available for free in all rooms and is basic. That is you cant watch foxtel go or netflix on your iPad but can access emails, and facebook.
