My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit run down but offered a nice view of the harbor. The service was lacking as staff seemed under strain, but various amenities like room service and dry cleaning were available. The location was convenient for entertainment and close to the river, although some areas appeared rundown. Dining options were decent with a variety of hot items, but not exceptional compared to some places I've stayed. Overall, a stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel offers an extremely comfortable king-sized bed and a convenient sofa bed in a large and clean room. Later in the day, the room transforms into a popular dining spot for both locals and visitors.

After four days of travel around St Peters, Baddeck, and Mabou, sometimes on the Cabot Trail and the Ceilidh Trail, I found the hotel to be a tired but decent option. The room had separate shower and toilet, yet the sink and mirror could use an update. The staff were friendly and professional, making my stay quite pleasant. The location allowed for easy walking access to many nearby attractions and facilities, with a good breakfast included but some improvements needed. Overall, a satisfactory stay for the value.

The hotel had clean, large, and comfortable rooms, although showing signs of age that could use renovation. The service was top-notch, with wonderful assistance from dining to cleaning staff, although there were disturbances from neighboring rooms. The location was perfect for exploring Sydney on foot, with many establishments right outside, and the dining, despite being great overall, fell short on some quality aspects. The facilities were adequate with room service, dry cleaning, and shops available.

The hotel rooms were old with wallpaper curling and terrible decor, making them uncomfortable despite the beautiful view of the harbour. The service was very welcoming and personable, exceeding expectations with room service and other amenities available. The location was stunning on the harbor, perfect for staying in Sydney and enjoying a nice view. The dining experience was satisfactory with limited options, not meeting expectations for a more diverse menu. The facilities were well-kept, providing a decent stay overall.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right next to the water, and the service was great with friendly staff. However, the breakfast area was overcrowded, and the dining options were limited. The rooms were still undergoing renovation and the facilities were good, but there could have been more amenities available.
