It was our 25th wedding anniversary after staying there on out wedding night 25 years ago. The staff at the front counter said we had been upgraded to a spa suite which was very appreciated. After having our dinner and returning to our room we had a ice bucket with a bottle of champagne and two glasses, chocolates and a handwritten card from the staff and management team. This was a gift and was a huge surprise. It made our stay and our night perfect.

Wow, what an amazing stay. The staff service and overall amenites of this hotel was outstanding. Will definitely be coming back if I needed a quick getaway but still be in sydney. The hotel is still undergoing renovations but even with the limitations myself and my partner had a great stay for his 30th Birthday. Easily the most affordable and convenient hotel in the Sydney area. Will be recommending friends and family. Pools, steam room sauna, gym, Walking distance to great restaurants, walking distance to the beach, very relaxing. Amazing views from balcony. Only thing is the amenities close quite early and there is limited lighting in the bedroom.

Renovations
The biggest issue was the hotel was doing renovations, so everything was not open, and the heated pool did not work well. The water was pretty cold for it being heated.

Room was very clean with a comfortable bed. Staff were doing their best with all of the interruptive refurbishment activities going on. Australia was in the ODI World Cup final the night of my stay and I could not watch it on the TV in the room! Could only get ABC and SBS. A staff member came and tried his best to fix this issue to no avail. Additionally there was no transfer bus to the airport, how can a hotel close to the airport not offer that service for their guests?! Apart from that major inconvenience I enjoyed my stay.

Dust mite city
We booked a $400/ night king suite for our wedding anniversary, the room was so old, the carpet stunk of dust, the couch was disgusting and sagged heavily in the middle. The chair was stained with goodness knows what. I woke up with a rash, sinus and cough from the dust mites. It is undergoing renovations, the breakfast area was lovely but there is now way that room should have been rented out.
