Spent two nights over Christmas. Booked way back in August and as this was a family get together which needed a connecting room, contacted the hotel directly at the time of booking. They proactively upgraded all rooms at the time (although I believe that only two rooms are generally included in such an upgrade under the Honours program)
Rooms although tired where still a great condition but from memory the executive rooms were re-done around 5 years ago unlike most other rooms.
As this was over Christmas, didn't spend a great deal of time in the lounge but found it ticked the box. Although busy and hot (as they shut it for most of the day), the food was diverse and staff were pro-active. We did the Christmas buffet lunch in the hotel during our stay which was amazing. They had a photo booth and music in the foyer which the kids enjoyed alot.
Breakfast was in the main restaurant. Full buffet was offered both days and we found to the selection to be great. They even put on a few extras on Christmas day such as a chocolate fountain and fruit. Can't comment on coffee tax situation.
Over all, it was a great stay. This use to be my go to hotel when working in Adelaide but its been a few years since my last stay. Yes, a little tired but I note the manager has outlined that a renovation program is about to start soon.
Too bad it won't open until 2025.
