Pros:

It was a perfect simple place for a layover. Nothing fancy, but it was clean & comfortable. Close to the airport, and the on site restaurant was a bonus!

If I come back, I will definitely come here again,
Pros:

The accommodation looked very clean and tidy, and the bathrooms and showers looked like they had been recently renovated. The bedrooms were more than ample for the short stay, and the beds were very comfortable. The bar and Restaurant very convenient, and good value. For its location to Sydney, the ability to park your vehicle on site the low cost of the accommodation, it ticked all the boxes, and more.

Cons:

The only thing that we could possibly say is there is not enough shelf/seat space in the showers to keep your clothes and towel off the floor while showering. This is a very small thing to comment on, but it was the only thing that we had trouble with while staying here, but it did not affect how we rate the hotel.

Merci beaucoup pour la réactivité.
Cons:

L’etablissement n’était pas adapté pour notre famille mais le personnel très compréhensif et agréable nous a redirigé vers un autre établissement. Un grand merci à eux.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic!
Pros:

This was a house of three bedroom and the facilities inside were absolutely beautiful. As a family we also enjoyed cooking and doing our own laundry as well. As a family of four we thought that was a very good accommodation for stay during the Christmas holidays.

Cons:

The location was great and very quiet. Access from Sydney CBD area was great too. Because hotel rates were some of the highest during the peak holiday period, we knew we selected the best for ourselves as a family.

Do not stay here ever
Pros:

The bed was clean and room was small but tidy however we had booked a queen room for 3 people, 2 adults and a child. In the booking sites it stated that children under 18 sleep free (no additional charge) and had to put the age of child, he is 15. Upon arrival we were given our room which had 1 queen bed and when asked about our 15 year old were told that it was a queen room. I told them you had our booking for 3 and she stated that we only booked a queen room. No fold out bed, couch or portable bed, he was expected to sleep on the floor. I asked why their policy was children sleep free of charge if there is no where for them to sleep and was told that it's not her problem as it's a queen room only but she said she could give us another single room for $1900 for 10 days, which was ludicrous as it only had shared toilet and bathroom for all rooms. We cancelled and moved to another hotel with wonderful facilities, 2 queen beds, private bathroom toilet etc for less than.$1000 more. Will never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Cons:

The idea that children sleep free of charge when there is no where for them to sleep. The staff didn't care about their false advertising and tried to upsell another room to make money. Shameful practice.
