I stayed one Monday night for work and it was very handy to my office and walking distance to the other buildings I needed to find. Pitt street mall, castlereagh st shopping and hyde park are literally right there too. Lindt cafe literally 50m from the front door. Ignoring the traditional pub/club thing going on downstairs - bain-marie roast, pokies and that beer'n'ciggies smell (it is the NSW leagues club after all - the actual rooms upstairs are great. Spacious, fairly modern, own microwave and air con unit, dimmer switches on the lights, clean hotel linen, biiiig shower. Just like the pictures on the website. I was in rm 803, which is on the phillip st side looking out over legal chambers accross the road. The elevators are locked with card keys so safety is good. I was woken by traffic noise at 5:30am, but put in ear plugs, rolled over and went back to sleep til 9am. Otherwise, didn't notice the city noise at all. Didn't try the restaurants - there's already plenty of better food right at your doorstep in the CBD. Didn't deal much with the staff but seemed fine. I'd stay there again.
