mostly positive stay

convenient location short walk good variety boring styling dirty vent hot box
the location was super convenient for accessing darling harbour. i caught the light rail from central and the hotel was a short walk. the buffet breakfast was good (i especially liked the variety!).
my room upgrade to a harbour view wasn't really worth it. the room styling seemed a bit boring to me. the bathroom vent was dirty, and there was no fan, a hot box when i showered.
