Overnight stay on way north

Second time I have stayed at Macquarie Barracks. Arrived a little earlier than standard check in time and the lovely receptionist allowed me to get in early. Executive Queen is a basic room with microwave, bar fridge & kettle. Room had a slight musky smell upon entry which I think was coming from the bathroom. A comfortable stay with nice hot shower. Would stay again.
