Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Offered an upgrade - $40. Another family member was GIVEN the upgrade - same floor - no charge! Upgrade was a misnomer - the room offered was 3 star at best - and, as for 'ocean view' - a view of the construction site with a bit of the Darling Harbour basin was not as the receptionist described. The rooms are old and tired. Very slow checkin. 5 receptionists - 3 on one screen.

Handy-ish location. Breakfast was great. Otherwise, the place is 40-odd years old now and starting to feel it. Room was perfectly clean, but a bit tired. The whole lobby area is feeling a but tacky and the person who checked me in must have had a long day as appeared quite grumpy.
