Lovely Hotel in the Rocks

Location of hotel is brilliant, close to circular quay. We arrived very early at 8.30am and able to access our room number 102, a big thank you. Breakfast was really good. Word of warning rooms 101, 102, 103, 104 are beside the restaurant and from about 6am it can be noisy. Also, in the evening if restaurant is open. Would stay again but not in any of those rooms.
