harbour bridge views are unreal

The room had a kitchenette with a microwave and stovetop. i could easily walk to the kings cross station, it took just a few minutes. a bus stop right outside made it simple to use public transportation. the harbour view in the morning was beautiful. I'll never forget it.
the street noise was noticeable at times, mostly during peak hours.

Acceptable Stay with Issues

accessible transportfaulty air-conditionerceiling damage
The location was good with transport being very accessible.
The air conditioner dripped water on the floor through the night. I used many towels trying to soak the puddle at 3am then I couldn't use my room for hours due to the repairs. No one informed me of the repairs and I walked in to a maintenance man with the ceiling on the floor.

The staff was friendly and very helpful. My room had a small kitchen with everything I needed. A bus stop was right outside.
The constant hum from the plant room next door was quite annoying. I told the reception, but they suggested it was traffic. It did not sound like traffic.
