Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay, Sydney

Spent 4 nights at this hotel and took the upgrade to the Executive Level. Concierge in the Executive Lounge was absolutely fabulous. They readily made recommendations for local restaurants (willingly made reservations and had sample menus to preview), things to do, and places to see. Complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails/canapes/desserts were the best value compared to what you would pay through the hotel restaurant/lounge. Keeps you from tapping into the mini-bar! Opera House View was great but that is about all you see of the Harbour due to the buildings surrounding the hotel. Great location...the Rocks within walking distance as well as the Opera House and ferries. Fitness center was smaller than expected but had a variety of cardio equipment and weight machines. Indoor pool was nice although an outdoor pool would have been nicer! Rooms were clean and above average. They had all the amenities a traveler needs. Nightly turndown service was a nice perk! Would love to go back in a heartbeat!

We spent 4 days at the Sydney Harbor Marriott. Stayed in a room on the executive level. Due to low occupancy at the hotel, the cost was $70/night instead of the usual $99. There was a hot/cold breakfast, coffee/tea/soft drinks/bottled water available all day long, canapes in the evening and a full bar in the evenings. Well worth $35 a person. Lydia, one of the host in the executive lounge, was most helpful. She provided recommendations for restaurants, shopping, etc., provided maps and made reservations for us. She got us a great waterside table at Nick's in Darling Harbor. The room had a great view of the Opera House, was a good size. 2 minute walk from Circular Quay, the ferry terminal, and the Rocks. Would stay again on next visit to Sydney.
