I liked the convenience of the location of the Essence Suites. Our suite was well furnished with good facilities. The only thing I was not happy with was the constant whirring of the bathroom extractor fan. Is there not a way of switching it off and on as required?

Thank you Amanda for sharing your experience with us. Our views from our suites are a little special. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Regards Christine
Awesome stay, I gave it an excellent rating, for that I don’t feel picky pointing out these issues. Apartment window sounded like birds were flying into it throughout the stay and National Geographic Chanel was not working.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Complaining Ned and shared photos to reception - no offer from f improvement still charged $395 a night . Bad internal comma RE late checkout to the point of badgering. Nice area - overpriced - no facilities and for an expensive hotel over a private hospital- dangerously dirty to inpatients. No opening was does either.

One of the cleanest hotels we have ever stayed in - absolutely spotless! Loved the space of the 1 bedroom. We will definitely be back!

Good overall, but parking (advertised as free) was actually $20 per night, and the car park didn’t have enough spaces for our second night in any case, apparently due to a concert,
As we’d booked based on needing a decent car space, this aspect was disappointing.

Have stayed here a few times now. Great location & awesome customer service. The staff are always friendly and cannot assist enough. The restaurant below is fab for breaky and being so close to Indropilly Shopping Centre is great for families with TimeZone and Cinemas etc. Will certainly stay again!

Very impressed. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the parking was easy to find and plenty available and reasonably priced. Beautiful clean rooms and hotel. The main reason I would book again would be the staff. Very kind. I was outside waiting for a car in the rain and was offered an umbrella to take with me for the afternoon. Simple things go a long way. Very happy.
