รีวิว Darling Harbour

This hotel is in serious need of a makeover or overhaul. It is in a perfect location for Darling Harbour and the convention centre and is right across the road from the Chinese Gardens. It was disappointing to find the entire hotel in such bad shape. The hotel smells damp in the halls. The rooms have marks on almost every wall. The sticking doors to the room as well as the bathroom mean you have to just about shoulder barge them open, the mini fridge's freezer is iced over, tiles in the bathroom are chipped and faded. It was almost impossible to push the flush button on the toilet. All the furniture was stained and chipped, windows had no flyscreens and there were cigarette butts on the roof just outside the windows so looks like people were smoking in the rooms. The bedroom door looked like it had been kicked in, the rooms have not been thoroughly cleaned in some time, drawers don't close, vents sticking out. Unless you ask you are not provided with the special key to get to the pool and gym in the adjoining building (what a trek that is) although the gym is not even open. The pool area has a lovely outlook/view but then also needs work to upgrade the pool tiles and the walk to get there! Smelly and dodgy. At one point you walk through this area piled high with old hotel furniture at which point you are wondering if it's even worth using the pool! It's a strange and quite unappealing place. We will not be back. Not sure of price or what they are like but across the road is the Novotel and across from that the Holiday Inn, check those out instead.
