Breakfast, coffee and small extras (free drinks, bottle of wine, takeaway coffee) were repeatedly praised; availability of upgrades and organised check-in also noted positively.
Value for Money
7.2
Several guests felt prices were high for what was delivered (overpriced drinks, room cost not justified compared to cheaper alternatives, food/meal issues), reducing perceived value.

Convenient location
Pros:

Liked the location of the Hotel that it was so close to Circular Quay and all amenities - room was big enough.

Cons:

It was older and outdated and wasn't up to 5 star rating - ie around taps in bathroom weren't pristine as you would expect.
For the $ I paid I was expecting a lot better.
