Excellent Stay!

convenient location friendly staff effective blackout curtains fast elevators

The location offered great convenience. I could easily walk to both Darling Harbour and the city center. Staff members were very friendly and helpful at all times. I appreciated their warm welcome. My room had effective blackout curtains, which I thought was great. The elevators were quite fast, a detail , made moving around the hotel easy.

I noticed that the gym did not have a swimming pool. While not a major issue, it would have been a valuable addition for my exercise routine.
