Deborah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is in a fantastic location. The tram stop is 50 yards away which takes you to the main shopping areas and to circular quay, which is for the Opera house, Harbour Bridge and ferries. The hotel rooms are clean and serviced daily. The only downside to the hotel is the rooms are on the small side and dated, other than that I would highly recommend this hotel.
