Great hotel. Stayed one night. Great hotel staff. Convenient check in and check out.
Hotel is a bit worn in a few places but are minor issues, and I will not hesitate to stay again.
The shower controller knob (I didn't use the shower as I used the spa) had lost its front. Bathroom door worn out towards the bottom.
Balcony double glazed door needed a good tug (as I was instructed by the reception gent who offered to come help me if I needed). A phone in the room like the good old days. Has a room safe (I didn't use).
Beautifully maintained garden. I could see the gardener working during breakfast.
Great breakfast buffet selection and great waiting staff. Really great hot coffee from the machine.
The spa needs a little bit of a refresh with shower knobs replaced etc. When I went in the reception staff told me I couldn't use the facilities as I it was a members only club, which was confusing and stressful. I didn't realise it was mainly a gym/ spa open to paying members that hotel guests have access to. Before I returned to the hotel disappointed I asked "are you sure lion quays hotel guests have no access here" and he said "are you a hotel guest"? Then I was let in. I was only asked if I was a club member. But to be assumed I was walking in from the street was discourteous. I wondered if there was some unconscious bias but hope not. Maybe a misunderstanding. They were fine after. But left a slight bad feeling.
It was overall a nice stay. Nice location too.
