8/10 Good

"Located near Darling Harbor. Walking distance (20-30 minutes) from major sites. We had a kitchen suite which had kitchen-wares included. Woolworth’s Grocery store two blocks away, or option for restaurants nearby. Hotel had a pool, hot tub, and sauna included. Up-to-date accommodations. New-age electronic toilet with bidet. Great water pressure. Staff were kind, professional, helpful. Fresh fruit in afternoon check-in. Nice coffee bar in lobby. Fast elevator, two on-site. We did not have a car but there was parking on site. Felt safe walking in neighborhood. Public transportation nearby."
