At least we had our saggy bed, smelly sewer and in toilet and we were safe
Pros:

Staff were helpful

Cons:

Facilities were antiquated that the room smelt dump and toilet though clean enough but sewerage smell came out from the drain permeating the whole room. Bed mattress was so saggy already due to old age perhaps.
Powerpoint below bed headboard was not working, reported to reception to request for it to get fixed, got the promise to check it out, but nothing was done up to the end of our stay

totally love Mariners Court Hotel Sydney!
Pros:

we fully enjoyed our stay because of the friendliest, warmest, kindest staff you can ever meet! they are polite but candid enough to have a conversation with... Richard, the manager, is the funniest and most gracious host... he is always cheerful and ready to help... we also LOVED the daily, generous buffet breakfast and the team handling it! Rachel and her entire team are the BEST! every day you get fresh, hot meals, cereals, bread, fruits in season, jams, veggies, spread, and best of all--- unlimited GOOD COFFEE!!! and they have to-go cups so you can bring one when you start your beautiful walk towards Circular Quay...

Cons:

i think something to improve on the room experience overall would be to install a bidet in the toilet... i mean, it is 2026, and most of the hotel toilets now have a bidet, so it would be great to have... it would also be nice to have disposable room slippers, esp for people who forgot to pack one (like me! but thanks to Richard for giving me a pair! you are the BEST!)
