Disappointed with the lack of communication with covid restrictions. The pool was totally booked out so we couldn’t use it. Long queues for dinner even though we had a reservation and long wait for breakfast.

The room was clean and well appointed. However we paid for a room with a full view of the opera house and unless you sat at an angle on the window seat you only had a view of the city. The bar was great when we stopped by but when I had some questions at check out the receptionist couldn’t answer any of them and insisted I would need to call back on Monday - didn’t give me anymore information or a number to call. It was a little strange as I would expect a receptionist to know a basic question about room charges.
