Fantastic views but the aircon was loud and check-in took a long time due to nobody being at the front desk. Lots of potential to be great but it's not quite there yet.

Kinson Hotel is lovely, however be aware of Nationwide car parking that the hotel offers. It's not run by Kinson, however Nationwide double chared us and makes it extremely hard to get a refund. Not ideal customer service.
