Very handy to University and Airport

Pros: Good staff. Convenient.
Cons: Updating of furnishings is needed.
For my purposes this hotel was adequate but not luxurious. It was very close to the University of Sydney where I had a business meeting. And it turned out to be very close to both the rail station and airport which was very convenient. It is an older hotel and I feel it may have been another chain at one time. The carpet and paint seems a bit tired. The furnishings are quite dated but clean and functional. The bed was comfortable and the room relatively quiet. I say relatively because there are some bustling city streets so there is some traffic noise but not bad.
