"We like everything about the Fullerton other than the Parking. As out of town guests I find the parking fees now too excessive and will influence whether we stay there again or not. Parking a few blocks away is not an option with suitcases."

"We had a fantastic check in experience! Forgive me as I have forgotten the name of the gentleman who checked us in. We had a baby with us and arrived early so he worked to provide us with a room that was ready. We did not expect this but truly appreciated it. It really made our stay so much more relaxed and enjoyable. Baby was able to have a great nap! The city view was beautiful and it is very close to darling harbour and Chinatown. It was a little bit confusing trying to get there from convention light rail station. Head into the carpark, catch the lift to level 4 then turn left and follow the green line and pass through the footbridge! Amenities are as advertised but the rooms could do with a little face lift. Overall a great stay"
