YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites
Location was good, walking distance to just about everything, especially the light rail in George Street. Traffic noise during night but that is expected in a big city. Housekeeping did a great job daily. The only negative was, no toaster and limited cooking utensils. Overall I would stay again.
