Close to Darling Harbour yet quiet, with a lovely small park to sit in the sunshine next door. Onsite parking and restaurant add to the mix. Very good value.

Decent and spacious rooms, the balcony was also very welcome. The white light is something I would have preferred to be in a warmer tone. Breakfast had the usual warm options, as well as continental offerings.

It was two single beds pushed together in my room. Pretty uncomfortable. The shower hot water was temperamental. They never mopped the breakfast area. I spilled my coffee, and told the staff. They wiped some up, but 3 days later the coffee was still there.
