Rydges Camperdown
The tea and coffee making facilities in the room was unsatisfactory. Supplies were low, the kettle was an electricity hazard. Some teaspoons and biscuits would be good too.

Silkari Suites Chatswood
Our room was perfect for our 5 night stay in Sydney. Had everything we needed and was very close to public transport, restaurants and shopping. The room was lovely and the bedding was very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay again.

Holiday Inn Express Sydney Macquarie Park by IHG
The staff was helpful and organised enough cups and glasses for us. No cutlery or plates in the room. Friendly reception staff. Breakfast varied over the days and something for everyone. Staff that filled up the breakfast buffet and cleared the tables were very friendly.

Meriton Suites Church Street, Parramatta
Generally good and I like Meriton Suites. With this one though there were a number of ‘issues’ like no wine or other glasses, small bedroom and construction going on at the back that we didn’t know about until getting into the room. So not top notch on this occasion.
