I didn't realize the hotel was adjacent to a casino, which is usually a negative for me. The presence of the casino nearby was invisible. The hotel is immaculate with high-end technology, and the staff performed at the highest level I have experienced in recent history. Literally, it was more professional than the best hotels in Paris and London. My only concern is that the shower floor becomes very slick as soon as you turn on the water, requiring caution throughout your shower. Other than that, it was perfect. Great restaurants nearby, and we walked to downtown Sidney and the best shops.

Great 5 star property. Just what we needed the night before our flight out of Sydney. Friendly staff, easy check-in. Valet parking was a little high $. Breakfast was mediocre at best.
