Pros:

Location - discount for not having the room serviced.

Cons:

Being charged for mini-bar items when we never took any mini-bar items, This sems to happen frequently when I stay at Sydney Hotels. Thankfully I was able to get a refund, but i shouldn't have had to contact the hotel for this to occur.
This doesn't give me confidence of the honesty of cleaning staff.

Very handy to Central Railway station
Pros:

I was able to check in late at night as I had a late flight arrival. The room was away from the lifts, so it was very quiet as requested.

Cons:

I was looking forward to making myself a cup of tea before getting dressed. However, the search for a power point that worked became an ordeal. I finally found one on the beside table which is not the safest place to boil a kettle. At this price point all power points should be available for the guest to use.

Pros:

Location is great, large and quiet room. We used the green option to get $10/night food and drink voucher. What an excellent idea.
Buffet breakfast was a good deal with lots of choice.

We couldn't sleep there
Pros:

The staff, location, and amenities are all excellent.

Cons:

Due to poor soundproofing, we were unable to sleep at all and left during the night. The noise from the hall, the rooms above us, and the rattling air conditioning were unbearable.

Pros:

Loved the breakfast buffet, everything was thought of, one of the best.

Cons:

The location of our room, very very noisy. I mentioned it on checkout and they did say I could have booked a quiet room, but who knew that would be an issue.
