Except for the points below everything was ok.

Pork belly dinner was too salty and inedible. The shower is now too week and time consuming. It would be nice to have greater pressure as it was before.

"Great for business travel and perfect for leisure too as walking distance to everything in CBD"

8.0

Pillow menu - a variety of different pillows available by request. Bed was comfortable and the room was reasonably modern with good water pressure in the shower. Being able to book a room with a bath would be great. Minimal noise from the corridor and friendly staff for room service and housekeeping. Breakfast is one of the best available. Something for every taste and request. Chef available on demand for omelettes and eggs etc. Would stay again purely based on breakfast options and decent variety of tea and coffee in the room.

A room with an outlook would be appreciated though the 23rd floor did afford less noise.
