Great hotel!

Super friendly staff. Service was so good. Never had to wait long for front desk to answer the phone or send something up to you. The housekeeping room clean and turndown we’re impeccable. Conveniently located, with a big grocery store across the road, a couple cafes, a casino with restaurants next door and walking distance to darling harbour. Just wish the gyms were bigger (there’s access to a small one I. The hotel and a slightly bigger one at the star casino next door).
