The hotel location was fantastic, close to everything. I walked easily to restaurants and the circular quay area. Public transport was very accessible from there too. I appreciated the parking onsite. It made logistics much simpler..
The shower setup was not ideal, as it was a shower over the bath. I found it slightly inconvenient.
