mixed experience at this hotel

poor room position unhelpful staff
the location was excellent and very accessible from the airport as we took the skybus. the hotel is only a short ride on the tram.
I booked a premium room and paid extra, but i was very disappointed with the position of the room. we may as well have been in the basement. i could not even see the sky from the window. I was just looking at a blank concrete wall. staff were not very helpful. They did not advise on check in that we needed to move the car after we messed up our parking.
