The balcony area is full of bird poo. I trust that hav ing to pay an additional $100 for it, I would expect it to be able to enjoy the balcony to be useful than dirty.

all good. A tip re GPS.
We had a deluxe room, so i can't speak for standard. But ours was fine, everything worked, nice bed, brekky good. the only thing is don't put "rydges" into your GPS, put the street address, as the GPS will take you to the old Rydges about a km away.

Why would you keep a hotel running when you know the air-conditioning system is not functioning for days? And no apologies at all? First I was put in a room where the sun hits the room all afternoon. Within 30 minutes of checking in, me and my family were sweating. I was moved to another room which was 'okay' in the afternoon but we just could not sleep at night. This is just not how customers are treated. We are here in NZ from the US on a week long holiday and the first two nights we just did not sleep. AVOID AT ALL COST.
