Liked: Staff & service
The location is excellent. Bed is comfortable. We’ve stayed here under another brand many years ago. The rooms are now becoming tired. The bathroom needed either a super heavy duty clean or a full refurbish. The staff were friendly & allowed early check in as our room was ready. Partial view of the harbour bridge was a bonus. Unfortunately we are still resolving an over charge by the property.

Staff friendly - though clean you can see the bathrooms need updating - kind of small bathrooms but would appear to be bigger if you replaced baths with showers - was a fantastic location for departing on a cruise - we will Stay there again

This place needed a complete rehab 20 years ago. Fixtures are far out dated and poorly installed. Bathtubs and tile are in rough shape. Staff was excellent.

Disliked: Amenities
Very close to the harbor and walking distance to the bridge. The room smelled bad, industrial carpet and mildew on the bathroom tile. The room was ok for the price and I would probably stay there again. It just needs better care.
