This was a great location - very convenient to get to good restaurants at Chinatown, and also to the Capitol Theatre, which is why we were visiting Sydney. The room was lovely and modern - very clean and in great condition. And parking was so easy and affordable with Wilson Parking right next store. We prepaid online for parking before we got there which gave great peace of mind.
