I was looking forward to staying here but it was a real let down. Rude staff from the parking contractor on arrival - beyond the hotels control but that is “the welcome” guests receive. Reception staff were great. Room size was excellent and great to have two queen beds. Scuff marks galore - hallways and in room - shows tardiness in preventative maintenance and lack of attention to detail. Bathroom has no ventilation - mould ridden shower and little bugs enjoying the damp environment. Breakfast area too small, stuffy and manic for the number of guests in the hotel. Glad it was only one night. With an abundance of hotels to choose from at SYD, won’t be hard to find better next time.

Great location for the airport, however, the AC in the room was noisy and didn't really cool the room down. Hence a score of 4 not 5. Staff very good, efficient and friendly.

Close to airport, quiet, clean. Nice breakfast and coffee in the morning. Unfortunately not a lot of lunch or dinner options close by(walking) but there are some. Uber or Lime give you access to many more dining options. They were nice enough to let us check out late and you can store luggage in lockers on ground floor.
