"Decent place to stay in downtown Sydney. Not fancy but price is right. Seems like some updating is being done. Very friendly staff. Bed was comfy and room was clean. Must ask for cleaning service if less than three days stay. On site bar had a great Friday open mic event going on. Saw some really good local musicians (and a couple brave souls) which was a lot of fun. Didn’t eat on site but restaurant looked good. Very convenient and will stay after returning from NL since it is pretty close to Hwy."
