Good all around choice
Great location (convenient to the Airport Link train) and walking distance to everything else. Very friendly staff (Australians are just friendly). Great bed -- just as advertised-- and wonderful breakfast (try to get a bed and breakfast rate). A little expensive but Sydney is an expensive city. Not sure one could do better anywhere else. I would stay there again.

Even with an excellent deal, this
Even with an excellent deal, this hotel was still quite expensive, but well worth it. The extras - speakers in the bathroom, huge bath, rainshower, feather pillows - made this a memorable stay. The bed was so comfortable, it was hard to get out of it in the mornings. Large size rooms also made a difference. I never eat in hotels so can't comment on their food. Given the position of the hotel, there is a lack of places in the immediate vicinity to eat elsewhere though. That aside, I'd definitely stay here again.

Not the Best!
The Pool and Workout area are very difficult to get to as they are in the old part of the hotel! Parking is 50 dollars a day which is ridiculous even for a city as for the location and the rooms I upgraded to the Executive level and my girlfriend and I were both very disappointed with the breakfast buffet and evening snack selection as I am a Starwood preferred guest and this was one of the worse executive lounges I ever visited! So to recap very nice place and centrally located but way overpriced for what you actually receive!

Excellent Quality
The staff were very helpful and professional. The rooms were of the highest quality. Did feel the room service menu was overpriced though.

Great Stay at the Westin
At first I thought it a bit pricey, but after dining , (breakfast was included), it was a real bargin. The included breakfasts were superb. The room was very comfy with great ammenities. Beware of the lobby bar - very expensive.

We stayed on Level 25 and the
We stayed on Level 25 and the view was fantastic. The Hotel provided excellent facilities and the location was very central. I would not hesitate to stay there again but on a lower level. The only negative comment would be the sound level of the music from the IVY club opposite the hotel which made it difficult to sleep if your room faced in that direction. The hotel staff recommended that a room below level 10 was not susceptible to the music.
