OK Apartment Hotel in perfect location
Pros:

Our room definately needed some renovation. Everything worked OK, but was a bit oldfashioned and "expired". But the location is great, -close to the wonderful Promenade at Darling Harbour.

Location ideal for my needs.
Pros:

Everything I asked for in my email was delivered.
The view was sensational.
An older apartment but clean with all amenities available.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that parking costs $59 a day. I'm just used to free parking for guests.

A great location, needs some updating.
Pros:

The location was great and the apartment was spacious.

Cons:

The room smelt like dirty carpet. The carpet is really old and smelly and needs replacing. The staff weren’t too obliging with any requests.
