On the morning of check-out I asked for a 12 Noon departure. Was told it would cost an extra $20. I said what! Even for a Black and Shareholder?
The staff member was very apology saying he should have checked my status first (yes, he should have IMO) and the late check-out was granted.
The property is nice enough and the location suited our agenda and our arrival at Central, which is just a short walk away or just hop on the L1 tram that takes you closer to the property. From here we're going to Circular Quay to board a ship. The tram stop we need is just a short walk from the hotel.
