I had a good stay at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney, with some great highlights and a few hiccups. The location is superb, making it easy to explore both Circular Quay and the shopping districts. My room was spacious and clean, though I faced a couple of minor maintenance issues. One standout was the friendly staff, always keen to help, but I did encounter a frustrating experience during checkout. Overall, I'd be happy to return for another stay! 😊
