Wonderful Stay Near Darling Harbour

modern bathroom separate tub rooftop bar convenient access

The room had great amenities. I appreciated the modern bathroom that had both a separate tub and shower. The rooftop bar was a highlight. It offered really good views and the staff at the bar was very attentive to our needs. The location was superb. It allowed for convenient access to several attractions.

The elevators were sometimes slow during peak hours. It caused minor delays when going to the lobby.

Dining

The breakfast buffet had many choices. Options included fresh fruit, pastries, and hot items such as eggs and bacon. The coffee station was well-stocked, allowing guests to customize their beverages to their preferences.

The breakfast buffet provided many choices. I found automatic water and ice dispensers very convenient. The extra bed added to the room was a nice complement. The pillows and sheets were very comfortable.. I slept well.

I noticed some dirt on the walls. The appliances seemed old. The walls lacked a fresh appearance.
