6/10

There was no room key, the application and website to use for a the room key did not work on my Telstra service and the attendant behind the desk was not very helpful. Overcharged for a towel for $10 which is shameful. The place was very loud and difficult to sleep in but the staff weren’t as helpful as they could’ve been.
