The roof top pool has a fantastic view of the harbour. During Vivid it was a great way to spend an evening. The hotel is close to downtown and all the amenities you could need.

The location is great with easy access to so many things in walking distance. I find the hotel rooms dated. The hot tub wasn’t very hot. The view is incredible from the roof. Note there is no food or drink service up there and limited options in the hotel. There is a fair bit of construction going on in the area making it a little noisy during the day. (May 2023). Rooms lack modern day amenities (no USB port to charge phones etc). But for the area the value is decent for the price.

We just loved being able to walk off of our cruise directly to the hotel. You can't beat this location for walking around 'The Rocks' on a Saturday or Sunday when they have the streets closed off to vehicles for the market.

The hotel was quite, close to everything, walking distance to cruise terminal. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Check in and out was fast and simple. Elevators could be slow. Pool area had a great view
