Resolute Beach Tours and Activities

Beautiful and characterful room, very spacious, located in a great area.

It was my first visit to The Porter House and I was generally happy with my stay. I had asked for a room on a higher floor and away from the elevator, which they were able to accommodate. It was a lovely touch to see my name displayed on the TV when we entered the room, and a bottle of wine and a hand-written card. It's the little things that made the stay enjoyable. The check-in staff were also very lovely and helpful. I really appreciated them. Rooms: Spacious enough for 2 people. The bed was huge. I love the design and curation behind the decor of the room. The iPad controls were nice, such as automatic curtain openers and light controls. It would have been nice to have extra hooks in the room. I found it hard to find places to hang my towel, robe and bags. Coffee machine was a convenient addition to the room. Cleanliness: Given that I had paid almost $400 per night, I think there should have been extra attention to detail in the cleaning. There were a few crumbs in between the armchairs. It would have been nice for house keeping to vacuum the room more thoroughly as some times, there would be hair left behind. Would also be good to clean the shower grouts every once in a while. Other: One thing that was a bit annoying was the signal. My mum wasn't able to get signal while inside the room, and the TV kept freezing. There were also a lot of older shows on so the options on TV seemed a bit limited.

This was a perfect stay for our time in Sydney. Prior to our cruise, it is very essentially located. Everything is very walkable. If you do need to go outside of the central Sydney area, then there are trains and buses and ubers. But honestly, we'd walked most of the area. You could walk to circular quay into the rocks and other areas from the hotel. Everything is so very close and we did use a ferry and an uber to get to and from the torongo zoo. Go by Uber in comeback by ferry. It will drop you off in circular q u a y. The room was very comfortable with a mini kitchenette and a great balcony to look over the city. Check out was a little early at 10 AM. But it was fine. We ended up leaving and going to the cruise terminal in was able to get on board even an hour early! Look forward to coming back and staying on our return trip!
