My room, a Beautiful Barangaroo City Twin, featured ample space and comfortable beds. I found the staff very helpful and attentive to my needs throughout my stay. The hotel's location provided easy access to key attractions and transport links. The spa massages were perfect (I recommend the deep tissue).

The price for overnight parking seemed excessive to me. It felt a bit steep.
