Furama Darling Harbour
Pros:

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful assisting us with our stay. Its location in the heart of China Town makes it a nice area with shops and restaurants close by. They close down the roads for Chinese New Year so keep in mind you might have to walk a ways to get an Uber.

Great location and breakfast buffet
Pros:

A group of 4 seniors stayed 3 nights after a cruise. We chose this property because of price, proximity to train & Hop On-Hop Off bus stop. We also liked the breakfast buffet. Front desk staff was very helpful with directions & getting us a taxi to the airport.
