Stayed for a week. It is close to East park mall, so there are many good restaurants around. It is a great hotel with a unique container structure. There is a little bit of vibration between floors due to the structural characteristics, but it is not enough to be bothersome.

Hotel has been constructed from 88 shipping containers and is fascinating. Unfortunately it was not busy during our visit and this resulted in sparse staffing and shortages at the complimentary breakfast.

I have stayed at the hotel four times now (each time has just gotten worse), Plus points - it is close to the office as well as across the road to East Mall. This time I am here for 4 nights. Room not cleaned properly. My cups where badly stained when i arrived - they give you black cups, so you don't see how dirty they are. Kettle i had to wipe out the slim at the bottom of the kettle. Did not replace tea, had to ask for this. cup by my bed not cleaned and removed, just let. Given one towel, had to phone to ask for the rest of the towels. Wi-Fi for 2 days did not work in my room, kept asking for this to be fixed, always IT will come the next day! My TV does not work, tells me not connected to WI-FI - been 3 days nothing has been done! Then loud music in the car park at the side of the hotel, told there is nothing they can do at 22.45pm NOT GREAT AT ALL!!

There were cockroaches in the room and bathroom in room 58. There were many of them running all over!!! We collected a couple roaches and went to the reception area. We asked them to contact a manager and only the food and beverage manager was available. He did send some people to spray both of our rooms, but that was a major inconvenience because we had to stay out of the rooms for a considerable period of time. We really had no other option because we were not going to be able to sleep with roaches everywhere. The rooms are small and the bathroom is very tiny and not very functional. There is no place to set down soap or shampoo in the shower except on the floor. There is no place to hang a towel in the bathroom. While we did appreciate the food and beverage manager getting someone to spray our rooms, the presence of roaches really made our stay very unpleasant. I would have thought maybe the manager could have offered us a drink at the bar, but he offered nothing for our inconvenience.

I spent 5 nights at Cargo. The staff are great, helpful, warm, and courteous. The staff at the restaurant during meal times could be more attentive, regularly check on whether guests need additional orders. I had 4 meetings at the restaurant, and we had to keep looking out for them as they hurdled chatting at the bar. For one meeting, none of them came over, we finished the meeting, and my guests left. They should do better. The rooms are beautiful. I spent one night in the double room with a balcony. The room itself is a good size, with a big balcony. I think the balcony should have been smaller to allow for a larger bathroom...the bathroom is tiny... barely any room for the large sanitary bin that's there. Bed was very comfortable. Working space too small. So I moved to a king room. This one had no balcony, but it's huge. King-size bed; good work space, living space, great size bathroom. It also has a tub in the bedroom space....being a city hotel, it looks underutilised. The room also had a coffee maker, fridge with a bottle of milk. Very well cleaned. Beautiful decor. Huge comfortable bed. Breakfast: The options were very basic, selection quite small for the room price. The food was OK. I tried the prawn tempura...the batter wasn't crispy....and the prawns were laid on a sauce...so no crisp at all. The braised beef short rib was excellent, though. The butternut soup wasn't great.,,,very light consistency. I enjoyed a pedicure at the beautiful spa. Overall, the hotel design is excellent. The location is close to the airport and shopping mall. I would recommend the hotel. I will be back, I hope they take the improvements and suggestions positively.
