Terrible Hotel with the worst services!
1.I have emailed the hotel multiple times to prepare a baby cot for my young infant before arrival but they totally ignored it. Bad service!
2.The taxi stopped us at Ground Level entrance, but the hotel lobby is located at Level 1 and you need the Access Card to go to Level 1, how do you expect the new guests who haven’t checked in to get Access Card? Stupid design!
3. My towels are having the blood like stained, called Reception and Room Service for exchanging for more than 10 times, no answer at all! Terrible service!
4. The buffet breakfast was as simple as the road sides foods with less than 10 types of foods! Worst foods I ever had!
In overall, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY TO STAY IN THIS TERRIBLE HOTEL!!!

Horrible experience and do not recommend
The Holiday inn express Sydney airport gave me a room where there was already some people in the room that had checked in. The manager was rude and said that they are checking a room twenty mins early and doing favor

Lovely modern clean spacious room. Lovely staff from reception to kitchen to housekeeping, very friendly. Breakfasts were lovely. Did use the “24 hour” room service qr code in room to find out an hour and fifteen minutes later after ringing down that the kitchen closed at 10pm despite it stating you can get food throughout the night(possibly could order pizza/toastie after hours), but they were happy to refund me. Chrome cast on the tv so could stream your phone to the tv which was great. Good location bus stop outside the back of the hotel to get bus towards bondi junction passing maroubra beach and coogee beach. 10 minute walk to mascot train station and a few stops into the city.

Problem solved
The hotel was over sold and didn’t have the double queen bed we had reserved. They quickly made things right without any hassle and gave us two rooms with a queen bed in each.

Close to domestic terminal.
Handy for airport access as its omly a 15 minute walk with luggage to the domestic terminal.
Extremely busy at breakfast as the aera isnt big enough to cope.
