Creator's Key Takeaways

Air conditioning works really really well here. So, um we've actually been able to set this down to 16 degrees.

The Wi-Fi is very strong here in the room, which is great.

Location actually, we think it's brilliant.

So overall, we've only had one night here. Um, so what did we pay for this? ... It was a It was listed as a opening weekend special for Ridges Australia Square. And so we got this for $282.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a room with a full-length mirror for getting ready.
Check for noise from external events if booking an outer room.
Use the hotel's proximity to Circular Quay for easy cruise access.
