convenient locationeasy accessshort walkinsufficient air conditioningroom temperaturedaily restock
i found the location quite convenient. it allowed for easy access to circular quay. pitt st mall was also just a short walk away. parking next door offered a discount.
the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool enough. it seemed the lowest temperature setting still left the room feeling stuffy. also, i noticed toiletries were not restocked daily.

the location is killer, i could walk to everything i wanted. i was able to check in super early, and the room was ready for me. i could grab food easily too, there's a food court right next door, so handy after a long day.
the lights weren't all working, 2 out of 5 bulbs in the room had blown. they didn't replace them before i checked in, a little annoying.
