The rooms and nice. Bathroom is dated. The outside of the building looks very dated and a little sketchy. Restaurant had excellent service and food was tasty but the restaurant itself was dated and could use a good cleaning.

I would not recommend this property. We had cockroaches in our room. It was too late in the night for us to find alternate accommodation otherwise we would have left. Unfortunately, we also experienced a power outage during our stay. This is beyond the hotel's control, but the emergy lights and exit signs did not work. I worry about people's safety in a real emergy. When i mentioned that they need to fumigate because of the cockroaches the staff giggled. We will not be returning.

Met our needs well.

Staff were friendly and most helpful. There were many positives about the hotel. However the hotel appeared a bit in need of various upgrades or repairs. I found the hall rugs in need of a good cleaning. Nevertheless again the accommodations were most suitable to our needs.

We stayed for 3 nights. Check in was really smooth, however we weren't told upon check in that linens & rooms were only cleaned every 3 days...found a random card in our room on day 2 that stated this. When staying at other properties, this is typically something we've been told at check in, along with the fact that we could request a different cleaning schedule if necessary. The hotel itself is old..while some upgrades have been done, like painting, bed replacements, etc,., there are not enough upgrades to warrant the cost per night..our total cost with tax for 3 nights was almost $600 so I don't feel the facility warrants this price. Especially where it's not located directly in downtown Sydney within walking distance of shops or restaurants. Our A/C unit was also leaking when we arrived & it was obvious from floor damage that it had been happening for a while. Other cons included: -no coffee maker in room, & no way to even get hot water -no drinking glasses -no ice bucket -no in room phone -loud, sound really carries between hall & rooms -no elevator Pros: -Friendly staff -Clean pool facility -Fairly central if you have a car -Nice on site restaurant You can tell the staff really care, but the building needs some major upgrades to warrant the price.

My room next to a side door making it very noisy. No every day cleaning. The sheets that’s okay if they don’t change them. Found on the last day silver fish on the bathroom floor. Reported it. Otherwise issues were resolved quickly. Nice courtyard but not accessible for handicapped people.

This is an old property. The "new" owners are trying to improve it, but just putting new furniture in a room does not really do that much. It smells musty, the paint int he bathroom was peeling, bathtub didn't work (you could only shower), and they had some kind of contraption for the toilet paper holder that was ridiculous. The parking lot is a good indication of the inside. We didn't use the pool. I have pictures but couldn't upload them. Considering many hotels close by charge over $300, you get what you pay for at this one. It's much cheaper and there's a reason. The front staff were very nice and did the best they could with what they had at hand.
