It was good overall. Initially they stuck me in a crappy corner room where the view was the cat park. I then asked them to change me to a corner view with darling harbor. They did so. The crappy lower floor corner room should not be same as the darling harbor view corner rooms. Glad they rectified it.

Generally good and enjoyed the stay with view plus breakfast. Just needs to keep up with some general maintenance (e.g some visible stains on sofa probably from high usage just needing a good clean. Coffee machine was kind of half blocked but worked just enough for a cup with a few goes.). Overall would stay again.

Nice hotel but standards have fallen a bit

Third time staying but probably my least favourite experience. The Positives: swift (and early) check in, friendly front desk staff. Room spotlessly clean and comfortable. Quality (and varied) breakfast. Negatives: Top floor bar no longer open to all guests. Was told this "was for VIPs only" by staff member on desk. Disappointed as was looking forward to enjoying the lovely views over a drink with my daughter. Also quite embarrassed to be declined entry. Kind of goes against the leaflet provided at check in which says "Dear Valued Guest". Didn't feel very 'valued' in that instance. There is also a large amount of construction going on in front of the property which the hotel should be more open about when booking. Meant that relaxation time by the pool was a non-starter. Also prevented from using ground floor toilets while fireworks were on. I get why they don't want the hotel being used as a public toilet but, as a 'valued guest' I would expect to still be able to access them (especially as I had purchased drinks from their ground floor bar). Maybe put a staff member on to check room cards? Service also slow at the ground floor bar - waited 10 minutes to be served. Would I stay again? Maybe, but I kind of feel that the hotel is trading on previous high reputation. IMO, standards across the board have slipped. Might try the W next time..
