Easy check in and check out. Room great, comfortable and spacious enough for 3 adults and one child. We had room key issues all weekend. Parking options are next to none. Car park option available had parking spots that were completely inaccessible to a car bigger than a micra. Ended up having to pay $89 a day down the street. Quite a stressful situation when youre not familiar with Sydney in that way.

Central in CBD, which was great for walking the downtown area. Unfortunately the staff a check in were not friendly or helpful. The view from our room was literal the side of a build directly beside it and over a back alley. Homeless people were heard regularly yelling and drunk. We were on the 3rd floor.

The pictures of the room are decieving. I was expecting a room with a desk and an office chair like any businnes hotel. When asked the front desk they said that "sorry, we don't have that and we don't have a business center". To make the matters worst, the safe deposit box was low on battery and it took me 3 phone calls to get someone to go to check it. It took the person many tries and finally old me that I should call in the morning becuase is "fixed", but it doesn't sound right. Over all it was not a good experience, the hotel staff don't know much about what a good service is. I don't recommend this hotel if you are traveling for business and need a decent size room and good service. There are other options at the same price.
