Good Hotel with a Central Location

central locationconvenient parkingappealing bartraffic noisedistant elevatorsamex surcharge
The hotel's location is very central. It made access to waterfront walks easy. Parking was convenient across the road for $55 overnight with hotel validation. The rooftop bar looked appealing and I wish I had more time to visit it.
My room faced multiple freeways. The traffic noise persisted all night and disturbed my sleep. Elevators were quite far from my room and inconvenient. I also had to pay a surcharge on my Amex card.

i loved the views of darling harbour from my king room darling harbour view! the rooftop bar, zephyr, was a real highlight, offering fine harbor views! the staff were professional and. walking to the city for shopping was super easy.
The noise from nearby rooms was noticeable. I could hear sounds from the neighboring room at times! this made it a bit difficult to fully relax and enjoy the quiet! i hope they can address this with better soundproofing.
