For a short stopover or as a base to see Sydney you could do a lot worse.Many attractions are close by, Darling harbour , Star City, Chinatown and... More

Could see mold outlines where people had been leaning up against wooden headboard. Bathroom towels stank so bad I preferred to dry off using yesterday's t-shirt. Everything... More
