Room was clean and modern. Staff were very warm and welcoming. While checking in I saw a very difficult guest making unreasonable demands who was being dealt with by a receptionist with incredible kindness, patience, professionalism, and grace. An excellent example of what good service requires.

We stayed over in a studio apartment, booked at short notice. It was very spacious and comfortable but a bit “tired” decor and facilities wise. It had a full kitchen and fridge, with separated washer & dryer. Checkin was open until late and staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful. Great location at the north end of the city and an easy walk to The Rocks and the cbd.

This property was a JOKE! We order a balcony room and the sliding door was nailed shut with a bolt, so you couldn’t open the door at all, sure this is a fire hazard! There was a massive hole in the wall above the sliding door Our room was surrounded in scaffolding The pool was closed They were under staffed and the manager was just sitting in the back room watching cameras Out check in was delayed by an hour

Reception staff were not at the desk all four times I went through on the first night, luckily someone heard me call out as no international calling. No idea where the restaurant is or room service menu so I ate out. The pool, spa and sauna are all unable to be used as being updated, my balcony was also locked off so unable to be used. My bedroom TV wasn't plugged into the antenna and when discovering this and connecting it myself I found a previous guests sock and alot of dust. The only positive was the bed was comfy and housekeeping staff were lovely. I told reception at check out I didn't enjoy my stay, won't recommend or stay again and he said he would pass that on to the Manager - they clearly don't care as I checked out 2 weeks ago and no one reached out.

The staff were not not overly helpful, especially the lady at reception. Breakfast was away from the hotel and not accessible for a wheelchair (I broke my leg). They confirmed it was wheelchair friendly and should have notified us when they saw breakfast was included in our package. No help to resolve the issue!! Poor effort won't be back
