I went to the Editor's Cut restaurant today (Sun, 16 July'23) along with 3 friends. We all ordered our meals at the same time,m, however 2 meals came reasonably quickly, the other 2 coming 15 - 20 minutes later. The first 2 diners had almost finished their meal by the time the last 2 received theirs. When my meal finally arrived (the last meal to be delivered), it was not what I ordered. I 'politely' sent the meal back, but as it turned out, I should have kept it! The meal was disappointing to say the least! Both the fish and the chips were soggy, and I couldn't really identify the fish from the batter. After 2 mouthfuls, I couldn't eat any more. It seems that the oil it was cooked in was clearly not hot enough. It was VERY greasy.

My friend, who also had the battered fish and chips, could only eat a little of the meal. Her meal was also 'soggy'. Within an hour after the meal she became unwell, and several hours later is no better. We suspect food poisoning.

Sadly, we will not be going back to the restaurant as not only was the meal disappointing, I felt the kitchen service was not up to standard either.
The 'front of house' staff were very pleasant however, but despite the fact that there were only ~6 other diners in the restaurant at the time, the disparity in the timing of delivering our meals was unacceptable - and they delivered the wrong meal to me.

I actually liked it. Id say itd be a great stay over winter as its central to everything, airport, malls etc. I only say winter as room doesnt hav AC (jst a heater) so summmer youll be burning as the window doesnt even fully open. Otherwise, great room n location n awesome food n bar at level one.

Rooms need fans and door fixtures to keep them open if u wish. People from events need to be told not to go by the rooms . Food and staff great ??'?.

Comfy bed, clean room, good smart TV.

Even though most nights are probably pretty cool here, a fan wouldn't go astray, pretty warm.
Also slamming doors, I though there was pile driving happening nearby, very loud!

Large room ,and great location .had a nice meal on level one restaurant. Rooms were clean and some nice small extras ( chilled water and ice in corridor) laundry etc. Good value .
