Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and convenient. There was no parking available. We arrived 5 minutes before check in time and we were told there was no parking available so when they say parking is limited believe them. I thought arriving before check in would be enough to get parking but this wasn't the case. I just found that compared to other places we've stayed in Sydney which were comparably priced or cheaper, the amenities were very limited.
