Honestly everything was wonderful! You get some free drink tokens and the bistro is amazing.
Check in was slow but they were understaffed, the worker who checked me in was so incredibly lovely.

Beds were comfortable and it was spacious for a family. I would not stay here again as it was very noisy can hear people next door and above you. It is right near a nightclub which goes till 2am. So if you are staying to get some sleep forget it. There were cockroaches in our room as well. Had dinner at the adjoining pub but staff were not very friendly. I do not recommend staying here.

One night passing through Emerald.
Room was decidedly average compared to photos. A lot of noise from other guests. Staff did ask them to turn it down and it did improve but still not great. Food in the restaurant was good and staff pleasant and helpful.

Very Clean Property.
Meals were excellent!
I would have been very happy with this property, except for the very soft mattress, my preference is a firm mattress.
Continental Breakfast was not in room and not provided on check-in. (Just a note for reception as it would have been appreciated if it had been provided on check-in,)

Patrons of the pub talked loudly and laughed until 2am. Bottles began jangling at 5am, guests shouted on the balcony until late. I worried that our vehicle was parked near the early morning drinkers! Not much sleep to be had.
The staff were lovely.
