Not worth the expense.
Pros:

Room was large and clean, bed was comfy, late check in available.

Cons:

The reception staff were not well organised and did not have a positive customer service attitude.
The desk and chair were uncomfortable to use. Lighting also poor for purpose. Cleaning staff were noisy yelling to each other along hallway which was not ideal for work phone calls - a quiet room was requested.
Food and room service disappointing - food delivered was not as described/ordered on both occasions used.

Perfect location for our 3 night stay in Sydney needing to be close to Macquarie & Ryde.
Pros:

Great location, comfy bed, great shower, very clean. Easy access by stairs. Room nice and quiet. Friendly staff. Walking distance to Macquarie Shopping Centre & the Metro.

Cons:

Would be great to have a full length mirror or at least one extra mirror outside of the bathroom.

Pros:

Nothing really. Room was clean and ok for the money.

Cons:

Very noisy. I think from the Hotels air conditioning. Perhaps a room overlooking the car park may be quiter. Also was advised that breakfast was included but nothing was open before 8 am. I did note that there were cereal packages in the room however no bowls or eating utensils.
