The location is superb. The Opera House is a short walk. The Art Gallery is close by. The staff are friendly. They are always helpful. Breakfast and the social drink hour were good client moves.

I noticed some wear in the room and it did not feel quite 5-star. The plumbing in the shower dripped all night. The shower head was floppy, and the temperature was hard to adjust. It was either very hot or very cold.
