The bathroom sink was getting clogged and took a long time to drain. The bathroom floor needed cleaning. There was considerable mould on the bathroom ceiling. The shower curtain is supported by rope. There was also hair in the beds. There is no check in desk as stated online, the property is down a lane directly off the street. The towels were thin and old considering the price we were paying per night. There was also a smell coming from the lane way in the morning that was terrible. The stairs in the unit are very steep and unsuitable for elderly or people with mobility issues. This needs to be communicated online so people are aware. The windows do not lock, however the windows do have bars on them. The property needs to be maintained better considering the price that is being charged per night. ##### Belinda Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dinesh Dec 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Dinesh Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sir Stamford at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sir-Stamford-At-Circular-Quay.h26464.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney-Coogee-Beach-By-IHG.h1747.Hotel-Information) > > [YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-YEHS-Hotel-Sydney-Harbour-Suites.h426104.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Sydney Wentworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sofitel-Sydney-Wentworth.h426577.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Rogers Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Centre-Hotels.0-l503145-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rydges Australia Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Tank-Stream.h11718621.Hotel-Information) > > [Little National Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Little-National-Hotel-Sydney.h54032015.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Sydney-Airport.h38420088.Hotel-Information) > > [SKYE Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-SKYE-Suites-Sydney.h24507540.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Amora-Hotel-Jamison-Sydney.h454969.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Negril - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-RIU-Negril-All-Inclusive.h1103806.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Fallsview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Sheraton-Fallsview-Hotel.h194534.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h4807.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Punjab (ISB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/isb/toronto-to-islamabad) > > [Neos S.P.A.](https://www.expedia.ca/Neos-SPA-Flights.cNO.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/yyz/chicago-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Austin (AUS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/aus/calgary-to-austin) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/ylw/saskatoon-to-kelowna) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Orlando-Intl.d5194573.Car-Rental-Guide)
