Option 3 - Opera House view.
I've had both Opera House and Harbour Bridge and preferred the SOH view.
Not done city but I've stayed in other Sydney hotels with a city view and its not that special compared to the other two.

This hotel was my first Marriott stay as a Platinum after the merger. No suite but I was told I was upgraded to a "high floor with a view of the bridge". I got an impossibly tiny room with a view of a bunch of office buildings but if I pushed my face against the glass and looked off to the right, I could see the bridge. #notimpressed

Fyi, this was our bridge view.
I’m looking for advice regarding the best room to book at this property:
Option 1: Bridge view, guest room, 1 king or 2 double, Partial bridge view
Option 2: Junior suite, 1 king, city view
Option 3: Opera House view, guest room, 1 king, partial Harbor view
There is no significant difference between the rates for each room. The Deluxe City view, guest room,1 king, is also available in the same price range, but the three options above look like better values for the price. I’ve stayed at other hotels where a partial view is still really good.....and at hotels where the partial view is really no view unless you are a contortionist. As I’ve never stayed at this hotel before (although this is not my first trip to Sydney), I would appreciate feedback on the likely quality of the view in the partial view options as well as feedback from anyone who has stayed in a junior suite.
Which room option would you recommend?

What can I expect from this property as a Platinum Premier booking on points? I asked the agent on the phone for an upgrade request, and they put that note in my reservation. This is really where I see the Ambassador program really being useful.

I just wrapped up a stay here as a gold member. Overall, I had a good experience. Got in early, took a shower at the early arrivals lounge, had breakfast in the executive lounge, and then was notified my room was ready, which was an upgraded bridge view room. Similar to what manda99 posted the bridge is off in the corner view. The only downside of the room was that there were no outlets next to the bed.
I'll be staying at the Pier One in a couple weeks and am interested to see how they compare.

Just finished a 7 night stay on points as a Platinum Premier. Got upgraded to the highest floor 1 bdrm Spa Suite!
Overall, the service at the property was excellent. Lounge was great, offered breakfast and heavy hors d'oeuvres every evening, including weekends. Beer and wine was also free at the lounge in the evenings. Location was spectacular, and having the Vivid festival close by was a treat.
Even though my room was large, the room was somewhat dated, and the beds were really soft, it wasn't the most comfortable Marriott room I've been in. Elevators were really slow.
They are really accommodating to early arrivals, and when I arrived at 8AM, I was offered the early arrivals lounge to take a shower, and a key to the lounge for breakfast. 2 hours later, at 10AM, my room was ready, much earlier than I expected.

Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular quay
I will stay at this hotel for my coming trip, but unable to find the email of Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular quay. If anyone has an email of this hotel, please share.
And, does this hotel allow early check in if room available . I am in low range loyalty with Marriott so I just hope I can take a shower after a long international flight and can change to a new set of clothes.
Please advise and thank you

If you do find a generic email address for the hotel, please create a wiki and add it to this thread. I was just in Sydney and forgot to stop by the hotel to ask (I was at the Sheraton and got their email). Otherwise, I'll try to remember when I go back next month.
