We stayed here for 9 nights in Oct 2005, spending the first 6 in a marina room and the last 3 in one of the 2 level loft rooms, both at the same rate. I'd definitely go for the loft one, the marina wasn't so spacious, had a shower room rather than a bath and a shower curtain rather than boxed in screen which looked like it needed changing. Beds were great, very comfy! Nice Aveda bathroom products. Pretty funky hotel, situated on a lovely wharf, great for people watching. Restaurants in this area can be pretty pricey but it is a nice 10min walk into the CBD through the park. Service was excellent (except when they tried to overcharge us for the last 3 nights, but a quick phonecall resolved that), but the room service menu was definitely through the roof, don't order breakfast in, just head downstairs to the cafe or across the road to a greasy spoon. Harry's pie stall is a 1 min walk away also. The gym is small but fine but the second time I used the pool it was freezing, as were the showers. Wireless internet access is available in the reception and the cafe and when we were in the loft room managed to pick it up for free. It was $25 for 24hrs otherwise.
