    The Fullerton Hotel is an amazing place to stay while staying I Sydney. It’s location is close to everything and having the light rail right at the front door is so convenient. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The room was a good size with a awesome bathroom. The only down side is th you can’t make comments on the tablet when you’re ordering food. I normally stay at the Shangri-La, but the Fullerton is giving it a run for its money I loved the Fullerton! Can’t wait to stay again . …
