Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel at Circular Quay can't be beat. Next door to some great food options and key tourist attractions around Sydney Harbour. The staff was was very nice. It is an older property that is decently maintained. I did have an issue in my room around stained sheets when we arrived. The staff was very apologetic and corrected the situation. As it was a weekend, I found the main restaurant options to be very limiting. But otherwise, it was a good stay."
