The fact that I was unable to rectify my booking details after I put in the wrong date for the second room I booked, therefor had leave the booking as I would not like to lose my money if I cancel it. The was no views to the city from the room I was in. This suggest that really, potluck reviews because someone else will look at it from a different angle!

Certainly not a five star property. More like three and a half stars. The staff was not rude, but not friendly, which is fine unless you advertise a five star property. Room was just ok. Linens were not five star quality. Sheets were decent, towels were worn. Carpet was dirty. There are fantastic hotels in Sydney, this is not one of them.

Fantastic stay. Easy commute on L1 light rail from Central. Hotel smelt amazing as you walk in, one of the best hotel pools I’ve seen & great security. Only thing missing is its own restaurant for buffet breakfast, you use the Harvest Buffet which is part of the casino. I’d definitely return here.

Well located hotel - don’t have to deal w/casino
I liked the suite we got. Spacious; a true suite that one can close off the living room (with panel doors) from the living room. I was pleasantly surprised about the location. Walking distance to Darling Harbor which meant good restaurants to choose from. There’s fireworks every Saturday night in the summer at 9 pm right outside Baia Restaurant. Took ferries to Circular Quay and walked back. Delightful!
