Spacious room. Amazing pool and spa. If you like a soft bed the beds are amazing. Couple of things, teaspoons in room to stir sugar into cup of tea. And towels are very thin. One bath towel was so threadbare it had a hole in it.

Very central which makes it great for exploring Sydney, but ridiculously high parking fees. Room was comfortable but very warm regardless of setting on the AC. They encourage you not to have your room Serviced and I’m guessing it’s down to not having many staff as it was early evening by the time our room was done.
