9/10 Wonderful! (709 reviews)

Nice property in the western suburbs of Sydney. Located close to a shopping center with dining options. My only issue was when I told the front desk staff that the gym water cooler wasn't working, and asked if they could do something about it, the gentleman simply said no and went into detail on how he could not help me. Thankfully a more experienced staff member intervened and offered me a bottle of water to help me through my workout. The only other thing is they charge $14 for parking in a suburban location, which I didn't think was reasonable.
