Great rooms and central location

Stayed here 5 nights while travelling for work. The rooms were spacious and clean, I had a kitchen, living area and bedroom so it was very comfortable. Everything was fairly modern. I ate at the hotel restaurant once and it was quite good. The location is right by the water, and is in the heart of downtown so it was very close to several restaurants and the cruise port. Only downside is that you have to pay for parking. Overall, I had a nice stay and would recommend this hotel if visiting Sydney.

Nice modern and clean rooms. Only thing that was not ideal was the roost of crows living next to the hotel. Made for a loud wake up at 630, but of course not the hotels fault crows roost in the trees.

Everything about it was great, but the street roads were full of really rough holes. The traffic was heavy and there was a lot of firetruck sirens.

Don't burn yourself in the shower

Same problem with the showers from when they were Cambridge Suites. The shower handle is on the opposite end from where you get in. You can't adjust the shower unless you are in it, and the hot water is scalding hot. That was the only negative. Positives include: very comfy bed, room cleanliness, and I love the blackout shades they added!
