Fantastic Stay, Minor Hiccup
great location excellent service good breakfast
location was great. a short stroll brought me to the Rocks markets and Circular Quay. Wynyard station was also just minutes away. Walking up Pitt street to the mall was easy too. breakfast offered a good selection and staff, including Evelyn and Marie, provided excellent service. the pool and steam room were also great.
finding where to park the car was tough, nobody told me where to go.

an okay stay
friendly staff good location ineffective air conditioning constant low setting
the staff was friendly. the location is good for accessing the central shopping district.
the air conditioning in the room was not effective enough. even though it was running constantly on a low setting, the temperature never went below 23.5/24 degrees (it was quite warm). this made sleeping difficult.
