Gee that's a shame. The free breakfast was a bit of a drawcard for this property from my perspective.

I have stayed at this property twice and it is a good option. Although the location is not the most ideal, however, if you are there as a tourist it is easily fixed if you hire a car to get around or use the easy and convenient public transport options.
 
I have a future booking and sad that its no longer includes breakfast
 
They may honor breakfast for existing bookings, I will talk to the GM tonight. This hotel has always been closer to a HI than a HIX with its pool and large number of suites, most of which are sub junior standard. They have started charging a bond on checkin of $100 which annoys me, and previously room service was prepaid via QR code, so hopefully that’s gone, if I am going to get ripped off because I am lazy at least give me points goddamit!
 
I have a booking for a stay in 3 weeks, ive received no notice of the change or loss of breakfast. I think this is poor form. They would have known this was going to happen for at least 6 months this shouod have been advised up front.

I would have booked elsewhere, the free breakfast was why i booked as there are slim pickings in area and we will be car-less on a long weekend as have a 50th Birthday to attend; and have booked day trips with early pickups meaning no time to go hunting for a cafe.

Just looked and there arent other options now at a reasonable price so close (we booked last year).

I will writing a complaint if free breaky is not honoured. Its not like rebranding will make the rooms any nicer, just a pure cash grab. Very poor form.
