General comments: Staff were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant dinner menu choice was on the small side but the food good and staff made wine suggestion for my chosen dish. Breakfast range pretty average, especially given the price.
First time stay here - I mostly stay at Pullman Hyde Park but they wanted around $650 for a standard room due to the activities in Hyde Park. Hotel has character but not my first choice for business use only due to location and my business needs.
Located in the Rocks it's well suited to leisure. My upgraded room was on the 3rd floor with glimpses of the Opera House after a massive cruise liner left berth. Note there is no lift except the dumb waiter - if you have trouble with your key card (my door had a flat battery) you'll be sure to burn those calories consumed at dinner
.
There is no onsite parking - Wilson's Parking is used across the road....self park and have your ticket validated at the hotel. It's $45/day and hourly amounts for less than a full day. If you come and go more than once then each visit counts as a separate ticket and fee (the clock restarts).
