My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall, with some ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to Darling Harbour and within walking distance of many attractions. The rooms could definitely use some improvement, especially with the noise from the poker machine room nearby. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to assist us. The dining experience was alright, but it took me a while to locate everything. Despite some flaws, the hotel offers good value for money.

The hotel offers decent value for money with large, clean, and air-conditioned rooms. However, the bright spotlight outside one of the windows can be bothersome in the evening. The service is friendly and welcoming, with exceptionally good food, albeit the location being a significant issue. Breakfast is basic but sufficient, and the amenities are as advertised.
