"Good location and nice hotel. Staff was a bit busy as it was school holidays I guess and the hotel was full according to the front desk. The room had the things we needed and shops were nearby for a good walk. It was also close to the water for nice views. Parking was available but would like to see a bit cheaper pricing."

8/10 Good
"We had a very good and straightforward overnight stay while travelling to Sydney with our family. We arrived around midnight, but arranged check-in by phone beforehand, and our key card was left securely in a lockbox at the front of the property. The process was simple and convenient. Our room was on level two, with a balcony facing the street and a busy roundabout. The view was nothing special, but this did not bother us given that we arrived late and left early the following morning. Checking out was equally easy, as we left the key card in the designated box. The secure parking was easy to access, and we had no difficulty finding a space. The location was convenient, and the price was reasonable. Overall, it was an easy and pleasant experience for a short overnight stay. Five out of five."
