The bed was comfortable.

The room felt small. I found the climate control difficult to manage. It kept switching to cold air. The parking cost was also excessive relative to what is offered by other hotels nearby.

Really good Stay

easy accesscomfortable roomfriendly staffinconsistent operation

The hotel's location provides easy access to the Harbour area through the Wilson parking lot. My room was clean plus comfortable and it was a loft room. Staff members offered friendly and helpful service. I found the complimentary mini bar to be a pleasant addition.

The television initially didn't function well and later experienced frequent interruptions. The remote control's inconsistent operation added to this inconvenience.

The location is superb. I found Darling Harbour quite accessible. The hotel features modern rooms, and I especially appreciated the good-sized bathroom. Staff members were really friendly and cute, which I found admirable.

I was not pleased with the breakfast as the portions were small. I was unable to connect my device to the TV. I found the noise from the hallway quite disruptive.
