No rewards given…
I wasn’t offered any of the rewards that come with being a good member, which was sad as I was looking forward to the vouchers

Good location, beds are so comfy and soft. Overall the hotel is a little tired but maybe reworks are happening slowly.
We travelled with kids and used the pool but it’s very small and no shade or chairs to sit and settle in.
Thanks to Hotels.com for offering a deal which included breakfast and parking, that’s rare these days so it was nice.

Great location
The location of the Hotel was perfect for our short stay in Sydney. Short walks to so many attractions. The pool was a welcome spot during very humid weather.

City Stay
This hotel is in a great location within walking distance of public transport and some city locations. The staff were friendly and helpful. The onsite eating and bar were very handy and reasonably priced. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The air conditioning was a bit hard to regulate, it was either too cold or too warm. It was a ducted system and may be on the oldish side? The room had all the usual amenities that you would require, and we enjoyed our stay. Definitely would stay again and would recommend this hotel.
