Can't beat the location
We loved the lobby entrance, the location, and our view of the harbor and the Opera House. There wasn't daily maid service perse as we noticed that the room wasn't thoroughly cleaned even upon arrival as phone and desk area was quite dusty. They came in daily and made the bed gave fresh towels but didn't look like they really cleaned. Beds were comfortable and room was spacious. The pool access involved a flight of stairs and then stairs to the entrance of pool and it was a shallow pool in a small space, however the rooftop view was spectacular and there were tables and chairs around the pool area where one could take snacks or wine while enjoying the view. Restaurants, shops, and transportation conveniently located.

Close to OPT
The room was ok for an overnight stay, we stayed here as it was close to the overseas passenger terminal, we were leaving on a cruise the next day. The room needed a makeover, the carpet was threadbare, the bed was comfortable. We had a look at the pool it was nice but you have to walk up stair to get to it.

Overall enjoyed our stay, great location and good service, room was large, breakfast was good quality. However the public areas really need refurbishment and bar area needs more seating

perfect place to launch into a cruise
We have stayed here before prior to joining a cruise. The perfect starting point and an easy downhill walk to the terminal. The Staff were lovely and helpful. There are great places too casual dining nearby. Give yourself an extra day to explore The building is partly historic so windows don't open but the air con was effective.

Good location
The property itself very run down and needs a good clean. But the room, despite funny smell, had a clean comfy bed and towels.

Great location
The location was perfect for us as we were taking a cruise, so it was pretty much across the street. The store next door was also very convenient. The room was a good size and the rooftop view was beautiful.
