Doonside Hotel Deals
Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park by IHG
The room was spotless; the staff were friendly and helpful. We always note that Crowne Plaza hotels are notoriously stingey about tea bags (2 per room) and milk - we always have to ask for extras. Also the room only had 2 tiny tea cups, we prefer a mug.

Rydges Camperdown
Property was fine for a quick overnight stay. Room was spacious and a quick walk away from Newtown/ Enmore. The only thing that was disappointing was we booked a King size bed and got a queen and parking was an extra $35

Veriu Macquarie Park
Bathroom extractor fan had a lot of mould on it and wasn't working at all. Minor dirt on the bench top - crumbs of food and dust. Other than that it was lovely.
