OMG!
The hotel is no better than a mediocre Western Star motel. The floor i stayed on had an old look and musky smell. The room was tiny and extremely basic with minimal facilities. In room dining was a joke and the menus were old and dirty looking. The TV was tiny, with minimal channels . Crystallbrooke leave this museum for dead and for less or the same money. Terrible, look somewhere else.

hotel was ok, facilities were not up to 4 star. Bar and restaurant were dreadful with poor service - staff were not very friendly or welcoming. Hotel is located about 1km from the main eating area of the esplanade but it is a nice walk.
