Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the check in agent and was told my room was ready, even though we were a bit early. I also received a goodie bag filled with various snacks and a bottle of Australian sparkling wine, which was a nice touch from the staff. It was unclear if the bag was being given to all guests or just platinum members.
My standard King Room was quite basic but functional, and what you’d except at typical Holiday Inn. After checking in, we went up to the rooftop to get our first look at the Sydney skyline. It was a gorgeous day, with not a cloud in sight, and I knew we would be in for a treat later in the evening.
