subject: What Is Available Sydney Accommodation Near Airport [print this page] Travelers touching down for a night may well find Sydney accommodation near airport a good idea. There are several hotels to choose from, with the convenience of being near the airport and the amenities to make their guests comfortable. However, the center of Sydney is close enough to make it possible to stay in the business district, which greatly widens the choice and the price range.
The Stamford Plaza Hotel is the premiere property among the hotels right at the terminal. A five star hotel, this modern high rise has an elegant silhouette, a full-service spa, and all the other amenities on site needed for a casual or a business trip. The hotel shuttle can meet you at the airport, babysitting and child services can be arranged, and there are meeting rooms and complete banquet facilities. The free breakfast is highly rated.
Less highly rated but deemed very satisfactory, the Holiday Inn has a four star rating. 248 modern rooms on ten floors are served by two on site restaurants, a bar and a coffee shop, and travelers can enjoy the hotel's pool and golf course. Set up for leisure and business travelers, the service includes secretarial help as well as babysitting.
Another, kind of a revolutionary idea is staying at the Quest Mascot Serviced Apartments, choosing among 91 suites that go from studio to three bedrooms. With full service from the four and a half star staff, travelers can stay for one night or much longer, perhaps feeling more settled than in a hotel room. There are meeting rooms and secretarial service to accommodate those on business.
Some reviews question the four star rating of the Mecure Sydney airport, saying the hotel is understaffed and the restaurant is pricey for its indifferent fare. However, the rooms are called spacious and comfortable. The hotel has a bar as well as the restaurant, and charges only a small fee for its shuttle service to and from the airport.
Also with four stars is the Hotel Formule; this facility gets better reviews for its staff. Wireless service is not free here, and there is a parking fee. Although babies stay free, there is a charge if a cot is needed. Reservations must be paid at time of booking and are not refunded upon cancellation.
Three stars only for the 116 room Airport Sydney International Inn Hotel, but the pictures look great. This hotel has grades of rooms, from standard to the interesting spa suites. Family suites are also available. The Inn is equipped for business groups as well as for those who are simply traveling, and has an on site bar and restaurant.
These are not the only hotels at the airport, but seem to be the main ones turning up on the Internet. Booking is easy to arrange. None are cheap, but travelers do not seem to be paying much more for the proximity to the airport than they would to stay downtown. All have Internet access, all are non-smoking, all are climate controlled, and all offer discounts for booking in advance. Services may or may not be free, so it may be wise to ask about those that will be needed during the stay.
