Friendly, helpful staff. Requested a room change (due to noise) and was accommodated quickly and efficiently. Within walking distance of the Suncoast Casino and restaurants. Great pool and sauna. Good coffee and breakfast buffet. Staff opened the bar early for guests to view the SA-NZ rugby match.

The food in the morning, they got everything, you choose what suit you.
There was a spirit in our room but it wasn't angry or intense or violent and it didn't take away my happiness of being a guest.
