if you pick a room rate (like on the Marriott website) with breakfast included, it adds about $30 AUD compared to the basic room rate without breakfast. It isn't a terrible deal as it is basically all you can eat (scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, coldcuts/cheese, fruit, etc.). Several days we were there, we just ate the breakfast and some snacks during the day (there are grocery stores like ALDI within walking distance and the rooms have a little refrigerator, so you can stock up pretty cheaply on fruit, yogurt, etc.) with no need to buy meals elsewhere.

Easy, less than 10 minutes from the Central Station. Nice walk. No problems with the suitcases.

Taxi fare approximately $35CA to small ship terminal.
