Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was in walking distance to eateries, history, water transit, and rail transit from the airport. However, I did not recieve information concerning what the hotel offered (such as meals, pool). In fact I was told that there was no pool or access, which was not true. Nor was I informed that they have an evening restuarant on site. I did not feel welcome. But cleanliness, and location were great.

Great location! Lots of food choices around. The best being Maybe Sammy - one of the top 50 bars in the world. It’s so so fun! The facilities are slightly outdated, but it’s as clean as any old building can be, and the location and price make up for it! Would stay again.

Great location but paid for a room with a view of the opera house and had a view of cruise ships instead which was slightly disappointing. Only really had the view at night time!

Great location but that’s it. The property is very tired and badly in need of a remodel. The carpeting is very worn in the general areas. It was filthy in our room. The bed was very comfortable but that was overshadowed by how everything was so run down. We signed up for the dinner/roof top New Year’s Eve party which was an absolute rip off. We paid $250/person for a dinner of cold sea food and a few warm items. The roof top was full of other people, some not even from the hotel. They just got on the elevator with the hotel guest and went up. I paid extra and could even get a spot on the roof which was most upsetting. As mentioned the location is the best and the Rocks area is the place to be. This is an old classic hotel and would have do much to offer it it weren’t so tiered. Honestly I would not recommend this property, there are better in the area to choose from.
