Pros:

Good location and the bar and facilities were nice

Cons:

Member of staff opening my hotel door at 1am and waking me up because someone else had locked themselves out and he got confused with my room. Honestly should get the whole fee refunded for it. Imagine that had been a single woman. Terrible mistake and I had a bad night sleep because of it

Excellent 10/10 spot!!!!
Pros:

I liked the location - as I travel solely by public transport e.g. bus/train/tram/coach - being less than 200m from the bus stop to either Central/Burwood/Drummoyne was fantastic, and given it's pretty much almost a 24 hour service, this was excellent to get around.
The air conditioning was lovely, especially in the humid week I stayed in Sydney. It was clean, very functional, everything was set up nicely and the soundproofing was really good, and not too difficult to enter/exit the room/hotel as needed.
Even the shared bathrooms/toilets were no issue either as they were a quick walk down the hall from the room.

Cons:

Probably fix the loose turn handle in the first shared bathroom. Other than that, nothing wrong at all. I loved the location and stay.

Thank you.
Pros:

Exceptional service by staff. Clean and modern bathrooms. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

Noise of traffic in our room. An extra pane of glass may make all the difference?.
Understandably the bathroom floor was wet. This could be improved by having some kind of extra shelving, seat or hooks to keep belongings dry.

All of this didnt detract from our satisfaction with the stay.

Spacious& Clean modern coastal throughout
Multiple aircon units was a godsend
Plenty towels. Well equipped kitchen

Owners beware outside 2nd bathroom shower drain, drains too slow. It floods whole bathroom floor if shower is on for more than 2 minutes. Repair asap.

It was a perfect simple place for a layover. Nothing fancy, but it was clean & comfortable. Close to the airport, and the on site restaurant was a bonus!
