I think the Darling deserve a 5-star review. This is what 5-star hotel is all about. Starting from their amenities, clean room and top notch customer service. They have daily housekeeping that very detail oriented. The hotel is close to Darling Harbour for sight seeing and plenty of restaurants within 5-minute walk. Across from the hotel, they have Coles grocery stores for your everyday needs.
