10/10

Great location in The Rocks! Be Beautiful view from the rooftop pool area (though cruise ships could block it somewhat) and nice view from our window. We could see the Opera House, search the night sky for the Southern Cross, and watch flying foxes leave their far-off roosting place to head toward the city. Breakfast was an extra charge and we tried it one day. I loved that they had a laundry facility for guests.
