The hotel is larger than what it appears when you first arrive. It wraps right around the back and side. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. My room was clean and I could see the ferries from my window. It was nice to be on the second floor without anyone above you. There is a restaurant and bar right off the entrance when you come in so it was very convenient to go down for dinner. There roast beef dinner was to "die" for along with their carrot cake for dessert. This was one of the most enjoyable stays I have ever had waiting for the ferry. Keep up the fantastic job!!!

Staff were polite. Even though the property was none smoking there was a bucket full of cigarette butts outside the side customer entrance. Not a good impression. Room was clean and quiet.

Lovely stay in hotel close to North Sydney ferry. Beautiful views over the port, short walk to the ferry (up a hill to the hotel) and really friendly, helpful staff. Great for an overnight stay

The room was clean, was nice & quiet, beds were comfy. Only thing my husband and I were not a fan of was room had an odour when you arrived, my husband is sensitive to fragrances and that was the only thing we didn’t care for. The lobby staff were great, and the waitress in the restaurant was very friendly. Overall we would come back and will definitely recommend!
