A great location to see Hamilton and an event I had in Darling Harbour. Travelling solo, I felt very safe with easy transport late at night. Lovely staff, a beautiful spacious room. Everything you need. Loved the complimentary water as well. The shower was a bit odd, I couldn't figure out how to keep it hot but with less pressure. I've never had a hotel shower that had really high water pressure, very good for washing your hair so it's not bad, just a bit odd that it wasn't able to be lowered without lowering the temperature. Lighting was good, but I found the digital pads a bit hard to see...especially in the dark. The night light in the bedside table was really cool, but one of the tables kept flashing on and odd (switched it off at the wall). I liked that feature though.

The room was absolutely state of the art. Wireless phone chargers built into the bedside tables. Floor lights and soft lights that turn on when you go to the bathroom at night. Electric drapes. Great technology that was simple to operate. Flawless!

Service was top class, room was perfect and the cleaners were exceptional, down to the little touches of how they left our belongings neatly and phone charger tucked under the pillow for easy access, dining options are excellent, especially black bar and grill. A short walk over the bridge and you have many more bars and restaurants also

I enjoyed the 5* cleanliness (pillows a tag old and flat and protector had uncleaned stained ) and the heated pool, staff were courteous like it supposed to be in hospitality, yet most 4* hotels lack off in Australia. 5* with the discounted rate, would be gladly considered, but not value for a room in a full price tag and no water views.
