Great location next to airport

Service was wonderful with staff being very helpful and friendly. The room was large and nicely decorated, if just a bit tired. Transfer to the airport was quick, inexpensive, and prompt.

We especially liked the Airport Cafe located just outside the hotel. There was a good selection of salads, sandwiches, and breakfast items, either hot or cold, at a reasonable price.

Decent option if expensive

For a more expensive airport hotel option, this is a decent choice. We had trouble at check-in, as our room preferences had not been passed on, and we were given the wrong room. Once I asked to speak to the manager, we were given the correct room. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the airport noise was not noticeable. The food at the restaurant was excellent, and the shuttle to the international terminal OK--although my driver just about got into a fist fight with a car that cut him off.

not so great business decision

I stayed here for business, and initially was quite pleased with the room. However, while the hotel was surely not totally booked, they put a family of 3-4 next door to me. The walls are thin, and children kept me up past my bedtime, and awoke before I would have liked to. The hotel staff never asked if I was pleased with my stay. So, I think the staff need better follow-through and need to book rooms with like next to like. Finally, the neighborhood has nothing to offer past the hotel.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

Domestic terminal is a 10 minute walk form this hotel. Don't spend $10+ on a cab ride. Also , I could see the Orbitz-listed other airport hotels from this one.

Only if you need to be close to the airport and nothing more

The hotel was probably very nice 20 or 30 years ago. The only thing it has going for it is that it's close to the airport. So for an overnight transit stay in Sydney in between flights (arriving late and leaving early), I'd probably stay there again. Yet the dated rooms, high cost of Internet (30 dollars per day?), and lack of free airport shuttle made it a just Ok experience.

The staff were excellent, my only

The staff were excellent, my only complaint would be when I booked breakfast, I did not realise it was for only one person and the price for breakfast was way too much so in fact you did not get one included, rooms could do with updating, other than that all was fine. Camille and Graeme NZ
