Good value for a comfortable stay.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable, overlooking an open green space with various native birds visiting. The bed was very comfortable. Overall, good value for staying at this location.

Cons:

No breakfast available on Saturday or Sunday. No cutleries or eating utensils in the room. Limited parking directly at the front of the hotel. Need to walk a fair distance to get to the main carpark, which is not ideal in wet condition.

Good but could have been better
Pros:

Accommodation is great for the price and great location to commute by car to Sydney olympic park

Cons:

We were travelling with 4 teenage children. Our 3 rooms were booked in one booking , but when we arrived we had two rooms (101 and 103) with 102 allocated to someome else, and the third room was allocated much further away, and seemed to be allocated upon arrival. Not ideal and reception blamed booking.com, not their error. Given booking was made several months in advance I doubt it was the original booking at fault.
