Nice Hotel. Would recommend.
Had a good Stay at the Darling Harbour Sofitel in Sydney. The staff was all excellent. The room was clean and seemed well maintained. We only used the restaurant for Breakfast but it was clean, lively, and had an excellent assortment. Bell service and Concierge were excellent and helpful. My only complaint, and a minor one is the room lighting. Sometimes fancy switches and labels become more difficult to use than old fashioned on off switches. We were confused several times trying to figure out what switches control what lights.
