The staff is extremely helpful and gave us information on places to go. The room was very nice and clean. My wife left her AirPods when we checked out and before our ride arrived, the front desk attendant found us outside and handed them to my wife. The cleaning staff was honest and quick to return them to us. I would recommend this hotel which is walking distance from the Sydney Opera House
