The hotel sits in a perfect location in The Rocks neighborhood, walkable to many shops and restaurants, including Sydney Harbour. However the hotel rooms themselves are completely run down. While the room seemed clean, there were countless stains throughout the carpeting and curtains, scuffs all over the walls, and the bathroom had stained and chipped tile throughout. While the historical nature of the building is an architectural wonderland, theres no excuse for such dated and dirty carpeting, drapery, and tile work.
