Not bad
Our stay was not bad. We book our stay so we could have a diferent christmas, the hotel does not have breakfast so we have to pay extra for it only to find out the cafe is closed for the holidays. Plus the parking is not free. However it was a good stay, the kids loved the pool and the room was clean.

Great hotel that should reconsider parking charge
Great hotel. Have stayed a couple of times now for hockey. Restaurant has great breakfast. I am very surprised however that they charge for parking. I would expect to pay that at a hotel in a large city but Sydney?? Plus the condition of the parking lot is poor. Very hard to find parking when the hotel is busy and it’s very awkward with the small lot on top and most of the parking down a large hill behind - steeply sloped and can be slippery.
