The fact that I was unable to rectify my booking details after I put in the wrong date for the second room I booked, therefor had leave the booking as I would not like to lose my money if I cancel it. The was no views to the city from the room I was in. This suggest that really, potluck reviews because someone else will look at it from a different angle!

Great hotel!

Super friendly staff. Service was so good. Never had to wait long for front desk to answer the phone or send something up to you. The housekeeping room clean and turndown we’re impeccable. Conveniently located, with a big grocery store across the road, a couple cafes, a casino with restaurants next door and walking distance to darling harbour. Just wish the gyms were bigger (there’s access to a small one I. The hotel and a slightly bigger one at the star casino next door).
