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.

The hotel is dated and needs upgrading. The elevators are slow and one is out of service. The rooms lack any sort of storage (e.g. - dresser, drawers, etc.) and have limited charging options - there was an Ethernet cord, justifying again the datedness of the hotel. The ceilings and floors/carpet are stained and the beds are a bit tired. Not what we expected…..However, the complimentary wine on M-W afternoons and $3 coffees were nice.

Rooms are clean, mattress and pillows are very good, and location is excellent. There’s parking next door (extra cost), but you’re very close to light rail, so no real need for the car once you’re checked in. Breakfast is also good. It is an older hotel and the layout of the rooms and the breakfast area reflect that. Most rooms have a view of other buildings, even at the Executive’ levels of 17 and 18. It’s a good, solid choice for a few days in Sydney if you can get it at the right price.

The accommodation itself was more than great but the the delay in checkin which was already. a 3 pm check-in pushed back to 5 pm . ) was not acceptable. Also. One out of three lifts were operating despite the excess of all new travellers all being delayed in check-in needing to be homed. The one lift took 20 minutes to use due to s family holding it up on the 8th floor. Some people caught the lift on its way up because they couldn’t get on it to go down. Definitely needs to be addressed so others aren’t disappointed with what could have been a very pleasant stay. No confidence in getting in and out after that! The linen service should be looked at as well. There should have been linen bc available for the day to set up the rooms on time.

I tried to contact the hotel for multiple days & numerous times but did not receive any answer or response. Calls, emails, messages..nothing. The booking was for an incorrect date and there was no way for me to rectify or cancel this even though the reservation was refundable. If they can’t even answer any correspondence, why would I think they’re a decent hotel?
