We stayed at the /Quay West and loved it, It's a great 5 star apartment (spacious)hotel with 24 hour room service, etc.<BR><BR>Furnished upscale, with granite counter tops, vcr, stereo and increible views.<BR><BR>I'm surprised that it's less money. Is that for a harbour view room?

i stayed at the sir stamford in oct 2001. i checked out the next day; it was so disappointing. staff very helpful but sadly the hotel has got shabby since been taken over - bedroom furniture dented, soft furnishings shabby, noisy air con. large rooms but low ceilings which give an opressive atmosphere.<BR><BR>i checked into the regent - very impressed. has all the four seasons touches. although the rooms are small. hotel recently recently decorated, beds supremely comfortable. worth ringing directly and asking for special rates - all hotels in sydney have overcapacity.<BR><BR>

QW definitely - go for the harbour view if you can afford it. Sir Stamford is tired, Regent too arrogant - QW you can do your own catering as they are fully fitted out kitchens. try www.wotif.com.au for best current deals.

I posted the original question-<BR><BR>In reading between the lines I have decided on the sir stamford- despite the criticism, I prefer a lumpy bed in a building of 105 rooms to cookie cutter perfection in a glitzier place- of 500++ rooms- but I appreciate all of your input and yes- wotif is amazing. We booked it there.
