Pros:

Our room was lovely and overlooked the harbour. It was so clean, spacious and great for our 2 dogs. The bed was very comfortable

Cons:

The only recommendation would be for the hotel to invest in some car chargers for guests with electric vehicles. As the chargers they directed us to at the building next door were all disabled.

Schönes Hotel in Zentrum von Sydney.
Pros:

Wir hatten eine große Suite mit reichlich Ablagen und einem tollen Blick aufs Wasser. Dusche und WC waren nochmal vom Badezimmer abgetrennt. Sehr empfehlenswert für Familien. Der Parkplatz war groß und direkt neben dem Hotel mit separatem Eingang zum Haupthaus.

Cons:

Der Teppich in den Fluren ist bestimmt unempfindlich aber keine Augenweide.

Good value for downtown Sydney on the waterfront with clean and updated suites.
Pros:

The decor had been recently refreshed. The suite was a generous size and the location was ideal. We arrived before the posted check-in time and we were able to have access to the room early.

Cons:

Some issues with the parking lot access. We were not able to exit without assistance from the staff and also when returning were not able to get the gate open to park. Staff accommodated us in another area and mentioned it was a new system. I am sure they will work out the issues soon.

Pros:

The perfect location on the boardwalk made for a nice spot to sit with our morning coffee and a nice evening walk. After a long day of driving it was nice to have everything we wanted within a short walking distance
