Upon arrival the front desk was empty. Wasn't made aware at any point during the process that we would have a door to adjoining room. The food at the bar was not great. Both my partner and I barely ate half our meals before getting up and walking out. When we arrived back later that night our card to get back in wasn't working and a staff member was required to let us in.

We had to book very last minute (midnight!) due to our airbnb not being sufficient. Fab, who was on reception for the night went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable after our recent experience and absolutely turned our night around! We got upgraded to the Showroom Suite which was phenomenal and not something we would have booked however moving forward it will be the room we book for our frequent Sydney trips. Thank you to the staff - great experience and stay. Very happy and grateful :)
