Breakfast - excellent. Good benefit selection value, as it's $55+ AUD.

There were problems:
- Check-in. I was upgraded to Spectacular on the app and she said it was "only" a fantastic room. Check-in agent didn't know the room was significantly better (neither did I) so a bit of confusion. Lucky I stayed with the room she saw on her system as it was amazing.
- Rooftop Pool: disappointing. The view is great, but it's virtually indoors and gets full quickly.
- Access: As noted above, getting in and out of the hotel by foot or car is ridiculous. Seems like a major design flaw, or something hasn't been opened yet. Either way, sub-par.
- Shower: No screen, which I understand, but water everywhere when you take a shower. It evaporates throughout the day but still, moving the floor towel around so you don't constantly get wet is annoying.
- Location: If you have a family, and want to visit the Aquarium etc this may work, but it's just too far from everything, in my opinion. I know the area and regret the choice. Chinatown is very close, for those interested.

Pluses:
- Amazing W Bed
- Excellent Views
- Breakfast
- 4pm late checkout honored, no issues
- Excellent gym with new equipment
- Price can be hard to beat. $300-380 AUD is pretty good for central Sydney for a property of this caliber.
