Preferred Marriott property in Sydney? Am debating between Sydney harbor Marriott and pier one. Halp!

Sydney Harbor Marriott is very generic and dated. It’s fine. Nothing noteworthy. I like a room with a view of the Harbor Bridge and that’s it. Location close to the Rocks is convenient.

I prefer staying at the QT, though that vibe ain’t for everyone.

Thx! Good to know.
No QT on this trip. Sticking to Marriott.

I loved the downtown Westin. Stayed for my honeymoon and got upgraded to the 2 room suite. That paired with the lounge made for a great stay.

Good suggestion. Sadly, Westin was rebranded and no longer part of Marriott

Good to know I’m going to Sydney in about a month

I stayed at Sheraton Grand Hyde Park last month. Used a suite upgrade. My room was lovely, had a view of Hyde Park, good room service, comfy bathrobe, excellent shower/service. I had to extend my trip twice and they allowed me to stay in the suite without using additional suite upgrades. The staff were excellent and location central to everything.

Sheraton on the Park or Pier One

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
