Four Seasons Hotel Sydney
Nice stay, the staff was incredible. However, for a Four Seasons property it was ok. It needs upgrading, and our room was small. But the service and location was top notch. The sauna, steam room, pool area and rooms need upgradating.

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites
Why would they install an energy guzzling electric toilet controller? The light is permanently on, disturbing sleep; the seat goes up every time you pass the bathroom; ... Ridiculous!
