I requested a harbour view room and was not disappointed. It overlooked the newer boardwalk into Sydney Harbour and it was glorious. The room was spotless, a separate sitting area and dining table, plenty of room to work, bed was soft and comfortable with big big windows to see out Fridge, bar sink, wine if you want it (for a charge) and room service from the restaurant

We enjoyed our stay here for 2 nights. The restaurant is very good, we ate there twice. We loved our room, we had suite, so it was spacious, there was a couch we could watch TV at. Two TVs, one in the bedroom. Nice size and good selection of channels. Two things were not good, the bed sagged quite a bit. Mattress should be replaced, and the towels were small and not very thick. We had nicer towels in all the other places we stayed in, even though this was the most expensive place.

The hotel has been renovated and refurbished and is very nice. The reception was very friendly and efficient. The room was a suite and was lovely. The view was amazing. Our only complaint was with housekeeping. There are a lot of conditions on the type of service they provide. We asked for the standard service and no change of sheets but change of towels only. The beds were made but not very completely and the in room coffee was never provided except on the first day. There is coffee provided at the lobby level and I took advantage of this service.

I didn't like the fact that the bathroom was a cheater. One of the doors was not lockable, and the sink and mirror were separated from the shower and toilet by one of the cheater doors. If you are going to continue to show a picture of a hot tub on your website, clearly indicate that it is only available in the penthouse.

This hotel is awesome. We upgraded to a King suite and we were not disappointed! The place was beautiful and overlooking the water on the 8th floor, right on the boardwalk. Breakfast was served in our room and check out was noon! What else could you ask for. The building had been totally renovated and the decor was on point. We were able to walk to several restaurants within a couple minutes. The only downfall was that we only stayed one night. Would certainly stay here again!

Overall nice, but for that price you would expect to have a 'smart' tv and that the wifi would be secured. Breakfast at the restaurant is pricey and minimal...and don't expect a latte, they only have regular coffee.
