I had a harbour view room overlooking George Street. It was very noisy with traffic and voices from bars and people on the street. The bathroom was small with a shower over the bath that had poor water pressure and the carpet was rather tired. The location is great but I would suggest getting a room that doesn't face George St.

We started off in a room with a broken noisy aircon. When we reported the next day we were immediately transferred to another room. We loved our stay.
