Overall a great stay. This was my second time and I'd definitely come back again.
Mostly positive experience:
- Amazing view of the Harbour Bridge and city skyline for a relatively low price.
- Very clean and spacious room with all the necessary amenities.
- Free Wi-Fi worked great for me.
- Dogs are allowed :)
- Front desk agreed to refund the parking fee when I couldn't find a parking spot.
- I was able to book at the last minute both times I've stayed here.
- You can pre-order a custom breakfast for the room by filling out a card to leave on your door handle the night before.
- Front desk kindly provided complimentary tooth brush and tooth paste when I forgot mine.
Few minor negatives:
- Be prepared for no available parking spaces in the visitor's lot or in the parking deck. You may have to find your own parking somewhere off the hotel property and walk a couple minutes just to check-in, then find the private guest lot is also full after paying the $40 parking fee. There is only one way in and out of each level so you may get in a traffic jam.
- Little soundproofing in the rooms, so I was awakened up by people closing doors and making noise very early in the morning.
- The bar advertises as open from 4pm - Late, Tues through Sat, but in my experience they were closed by the time I went down to get a drink around 10:15pm on a Thursday.
- I did have the Harbour Bridge and skyline right in my view, but on the 2nd floor the lighted parking lot and railroad tracks were just below my window and people could see right in my room if I didn't close the curtains.
A bit unusual:
- There is a giant window between the room and the bathroom next to the toilet, but it has a curtain you can roll down to keep someone from seeing into the bathroom. I've never see that before.
