Pros:

This hotel had bed bugs and when I showed management the bites they said they checked the room and couldn’t find any. But they moved me to another room and fumigated the room with my items in there. Won’t stay again. I complained to the City of Sydney as well.

Cons:

Rooms had bed bugs and management didn’t care

Basic 3 star room, nothing fancy
Pros:

Quiet location slightly out of CBD. Lovely 10-15 min walk into town.
Rooms were basic but sufficient. Cleanliness was ok, although carpet had lots of stains on it.
I was a little disappointed with breakfast as the quality of food was also average and different to the pictures on display.
Car park was convenient but a little dirty and smelly.
All in all, satisfactory experience but wasn’t “wowed” at anything.
