The room is very dated. We left our bags and we returned at 6pm, our bags weren't taken to our room, and I know why steps to rooms off the lift are very difficult to navigate. Staff were friendly and location was fantastic. Over priced though low water pressure, shower over bath, very small bathroom and small room.

We have stayed many times before and love it however bathrooms really need an upgrade. Also unfortunately a staff member charged an extra night’s accommodation after we had checked out and now have to wait up to 5 days for the refund which is very inconvenient as funds are very tight at the moment.

The hotel was okay, while a little dated. The shower/bath was adequate but the shower head was low (I'm 6'-2"). The electrical outlets did not have USB plug ins. When I asked at the front desk for US adapters they were all being used by other guests. Had to buy a cheap one at a convenience store. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The Hotel location was perfect for "The Rocks" area and all things were easily walked to, including the Opera House, Botanical Gardens and Cruise Terminal. I would stay here again, but would know what to bring next time.
