Краткий обзор: A solid, unpretentious workhorse hotel that trades ultra-modern luxury for a great pool, a better location, and a brewery in the lobby.
Подтверждено @travellingthroughtrauma: I had such a relaxing stay here in North Sydney. The room was incredibly spacious and the bed was super comfortable. I really loved the eco-friendly option to get $10 credit just for skipping housekeeping—such a smart perk!

Reality check
The 'Executive' rooms are just standard rooms on higher floors with free water; don't expect a suite unless you book a 'Suite'.
- You're a family who needs a pool to tire out the kids
- You're a business traveler who needs to be near Central Station
- You appreciate a good IPA immediately after checking in
Чистота и уход
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable. Some reports of dust under beds in older reviews, but generally consistent.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are clean but can feel dated. Grout is usually scrubbed well. One recent report of a dirty shower head.
- Maintenance: Renovated in 2018, but wear is showing. Watch for slow drains or scuffed skirting boards.
- Linens & towels: Towels are standard hotel grade—clean but not plush. Sheets are crisp.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like the brewery (yeast/hops) in the evenings—a plus or minus depending on you. Rooms are generally neutral.
