Stayed here with my 8 year old daughter and we had the absolute best time. Everything was perfect. We got room service which was quick and delicious. Swam in the pool and spa. Only downside was that the pool is only 27 degrees. Wish it was at least 30 degrees especially for winter. The spa was lovely at 36 degrees. The buffet breakfast was fabulous. And the convenience of parking and Central train station and light rail being only a 5 minute walk so perfect. We will be back for sure.

We had an overnight stay. We got the train from the domestic airport and easy walk to the hotel. Sydney brewery was a nice surprise for dinner and buffet breakfast the next morning was wonderful. We were able to sneak in a quick train trip to circular quay and the harbour before checking out the next morning and walking to the station to get the train to Perth. Very comfortable room and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
