The pool, steam room and Sauna Also loved the breakfast and the team was really nice
Perhaps our room was too close to the spa reception/office and there was a lot of chatting going on so not relaxing for someone that would like to stay for 2 days and have a rest

Breakfa no sts were great! Especially the salmon and omelette. The pastries and wholegrain breads could be more interesting and varied.
Bathroom sink area had no room at all for toiletries. Lighting much too dim around bathroom mirror. Ask for a view, had parking lot and high rise building across from us.

Great location just around the corner from St James' Quarter shopping, near North Bridge and Waverley Station. Room was big, staff were friendly, gym good, and the pool looked great, but we didn't get a chance to use it.
Breakfast was good, but seemed understaffed - the staff were great, but I think there should be a couple more of them.

The swimming pool
My room was on street level and at night there were people right outside the window talking and smoking. Didnt feel private enough.

Central location, familiar with Apex, good quality. Spa and pool,
Pillows. Shower, not enough attention to detail. Loo was not cleaned during our stay. Blinds need upgrading. Shower weak.
