Holiday Inn Sydney - Waterfront

Overall a good hotel, with an excellent location in downtown Sydney right by the boardwalk and walking distance to the Port of Sydney and famous Ceilidh Fiddle. The only negatives wer that our bathtub/shower area was dirty and still full of hair. We called to the front desk and someone came up to wipe the area down and he also apologized. Also, our room was at the end of the hallway close to the stairs and a little noisy for that. Customer service was excellent at the front desk and the restaurant. The breakfast buffet was included and had a fair selection of food and beverages. Another couple who checked in at the same time as us was surprised at the $100 deposit required at check in, so this is something to keep in mind. I don't remember reading anything about the deposit on the hotel's website, and although this is common practice it certainly isn't applied everywhere.

Strange checkin... at 3:30 pm the room was not ready. We were told that there was a 4 pm guaranteed availability. Around 4:30 pm we were finally able to get a room. The hotel staff were friendly... it was just very disorganized. I would not visit this hotel again.

A weekend getaway for us as a couple before our first child is born. Great location, great views, and a relaxing getaway!
