Property: Four Points Sydney
Booked: Premium City Side 2 single beds (requested King size bed).
Received: Maritime Suite
The hotel is undergoing massive renovations with the addition of an extra section that will make it even bigger then it's already is.
The makeshift lobby and restaurant are not very appealing and those who visit the hotel for the first are about to get a very disappointing first impression. The construction noise and longish queues at check in don't help either.
Having said all that I had a very good stay and a surprise upgrade. I booked the cheapest possible room (2 single beds) counting on my request for an "upgrade" to King but I got more then I've asked for - a suite. Well, TBH it wasn't really a classic suite, more of an extra large room with balcony, similar size to some premier rooms in other hotels but nevertheless it was very comfortable and the harbour views were priceless. It was a beautiful day and I got to spend some relaxing time on the balcony after work.
At check in I was given a choice between 250 points and breakfast, I chose the latter. 4pm late checkout was offered (didn't use it).
No SPG Plat recognition in the room, just two complementary bottles of water. No turndown service but some requested amenities were supplied quickly.
Breakfast was better then I expected, choices were similar to what Sheraton on the Park offers in the exec lounge.
To anyone who is planning a stay in the near future I recommend to request a room on high floor to avoid as much as possible the construction noise in the morning. My suite on level 10 and was relatively quiet.
