The hotel had a very convenient location, very close to the convention tram station. the digital key via the accord hotels app was also really handy. It eliminated queues at check-in. i also loved that darling square and china town were within easy walking distance.
i was a bit disappointed to find that the hotel's pool area was often quite crowded. it was sometimes difficult to find available loungers, especially with kids enjoying themselves (maybe a designated quiet zone could help?).
