All minor things (apart from the burning iron) and I am sure they will get sorted but not what you expect for a A$800+ per night hotel.
We are eating in the restaurant tonight so will post a fuller report with more photos tomorrow.
Have to say that all the staff we have met are great. We were checked in and shown to our room and given the full run down on the renovations and what they hope to achieve with their new "residence hotel".
I had dinner there tonight as well, for a new hotel this restaurant was very quiet, it appeared the few occupied tables were all unfortunate get a window table. I found the menu is very similar to living room, but charging much more premium price.
