Good location, beds are so comfy and soft. Overall the hotel is a little tired but maybe reworks are happening slowly. We travelled with kids and used the pool but it’s very small and no shade or chairs to sit and settle in. Thanks to Hotels.com for offering a deal which included breakfast and parking, that’s rare these days so it was nice.

The location of the Hotel was perfect for our short stay in Sydney. Short walks to so many attractions. The pool was a welcome spot during very humid weather.

The hotel is very convenient, 5 mins walk to the light rail station, 20 mins wall to the circular quay, 15 mins to major train station where you can access all kind of transportation to all major tourist spots. The price is very reasonable as it is not right in the centre but it is definitely close enough. Eateries are everywhere. The property itself is ok but bravo to the young management team who is able to make prompt decision to rectify couple issues before they escalated to more stressful condition. Extra thanks to the shift managers Jordan and Catherine who have right balances between customer services and corporate perspective
