The hotel was okay, while a little dated. The shower/bath was adequate but the shower head was low (I'm 6'-2"). The electrical outlets did not have USB plug ins. When I asked at the front desk for US adapters they were all being used by other guests. Had to buy a cheap one at a convenience store. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The Hotel location was perfect for "The Rocks" area and all things were easily walked to, including the Opera House, Botanical Gardens and Cruise Terminal. I would stay here again, but would know what to bring next time.
