fantastic location harbour bridge indoor pool rooftop bar
The location is fantastic. The hotel is a stone's throw from Circular Quay, the Harbour Bridge, and the Opera House. The proximity to many top restaurants and bars is AMAZING!!!
I found the indoor pool to be a joke for a hotel like this. I have seen better pools at Holiday Inn Express hotels. The club lounge and rooftop bar were closed for VIP guests, IHG senior management to be precise.

long waits lacking service
The location was convenient. It was a short walk to the Opera House.
I found the service lacking a personal touch. My anniversary was not acknowledged by the staff. There were long waits at all the food service areas.
