I arrived close to midnight after a long flight. The reception staff was busy with other travellers who were taking a while but checked me in quickly. There was a reasonable selection at breakfast. It was easy to arrange the airport shuttle.

Close to airport. You could walk but it is easier to take shuttle even with the cost. There is a bus stop right by the hotel so it’s easy to access the bus system.

Great check-in, staff were fantastic. Dinner was ordered at the eating area. It was slow and came out cold. In the morning staff was not friendly and the shuttle driver to the airport was very verbally abusive towards me. I advised staff and they did not care. I ended up catching a taxi to the airport. Would not recommend.

Stayed for one night before my flight out of Sydney. Consistent experience of a Holiday Inn Express, which is great. Rooms all come with breakfast to fill up before flying. Parking staff could be a tad more friendly. Overall, thumbs up!
