Misrepresented and unimpressed.
I feel the property was not accurately described and misrepresented. The hotel had a musty odor throughout-our hallway carpet on our floor had a huge puddle of water stain. The hallway walls and doors were all damaged and in need of paint. Hotel floors had zero decor or appeal. Very basic hotel. Our room had zero toilet paper in it. We killed a bug in the room just before our decision to leave the property. The neighborhood was also slightly rough.

Great location easy walk to Darling and Sydney harbours. Staff polite and helpful, rooms clean and spacious. Local restaurants and bars. Downside would like reduced car parking as hotel guest, hand rail by bath/shower and disappointed restaurant closed Sunday and Mondays. Generally would recommend.

Amazing hotel
Stayed over new year, all the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very nice and the bed was very soft and comfy. The pool area was small but big enough considering people were not always using it, it also had a little jacuzzi style bath. The location has to be the key reason for booking, ideally located near central station, which is the hub for all travel in and out the city. Near by metros Chinatown and Haymarket for runs down to the city also. The hotel has amazing food spots all around it, I recommend market city for close shopping, all branded shops at the top!

Surprise hotel in the city
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff friendly and the beds were really comfortable. The only negative for us was the cost for parking in the adjacent parking station, it would have been wonderful to get a discount during our stay

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.
