Location was ideal and beds very comfy in spacious room.
Pros:

Location was very central to Lambton Quay and walking distance to Wharf area and markets. Room was quite spacious. We didn't eat breakfast, but had light meals and a High Tea for a 70th - very delicious.

Always nice staff, good food, comfortable and fair value for money. Can't beat the location either.
Pros:

We use this Hotel for any Government events nearby, can't beat it. The Restaurant hours are also very handy when you get in from a long day.

Cons:

The air con unit is very loud, sounds like a washing machine perpetually on the spin cycle. Something is out of balance, like a fan perhaps. Earplugs next time!
