mini fridge shower gel handy metro
My room, an executive king room, included a mini fridge and a selection of four different teas and coffee. The bathroom offered shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in dispensers with a very nice scent. I found a woolies metro nearby , made getting supplies simple.
The restaurant menu seemed pricey. Ordering chicken cost extra for a side.

the location was amazing , close to public transport and lots of asian restaurants. it was within walking distance of the city , opera house , ferry terminal , barangaroo and darling harbour.
the room looked like it had not been renovated in years , and staying in such a room was not so pleasant. the hotel really needs some cosmetic updates to improve the overall experience.
