“IC Sydney's harbour”

InterContinental Sydney is a loved amazing stay — a fantastic central location minutes on foot from the Opera House with Sydney Harbour right outside the window, a distinctive lobby, a very comfortable clean room, a fairly-new bathroom, good breakfast offerings, and leisurely early-morning seaside strolls; guests would definitely go again. Caveats though: one week-long guest found the view the only standout — tissues were rationed and never proactively replaced, wet wipes and napkins missing from restaurant tables unless asked, and breakfast variety ran thin enough to bore within days.

Rooms: Comfy harbour view rooms here here.
Service: A tissues nit amid okay cleaning.
Location: Minutes to the Opera House here.
Food: A variety nit amid good breakfast.
Facilities: A distinctive lobby for guests on most stays.
Value: A go again verdict amid nits.
Cleanliness: Clean for guests on most stays.
