Crystalbrook Flynn
"Wonderful views and very convenient location to all the action in the Esplanade. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is very focused on environmental sustainability which is commendable but a tiny improvement would be nicer tea cups which feel too plastic. We’ll be back for sure."
