Very close to a beach. Most of the areas were clean. The negative: 1) However, the front downstairs room was not that clean at all. You can find several spiders in each corners in the room, really upset by this. They charged in a very expensive costs, shouldn’t neglect the pest control issue. 2) Also, they just provided 2 bath mats for 7 people to stay for 3 nights. I think that was unreasonable. 3) Lastly, the most unacceptable thing is….they just put the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner ON THE FLOOR???!!!!! My goodness. We felt disgusting. 4) May be it was long weekend?? Some crazy drivers drove in the street crazily and the pub people were screaming and yelling and laughing till 2am. Yes, 2am…unable to fall asleep by the noise. ##### Kat Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The York by Swiss-Belhotel International](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-York-By-Swiss-Belhotel-International.h460476.Hotel-Information) > > [Southend Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Southend-Hotel.h9626085.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sunnyside Tavern, Broadmeadow](https://www.expedia.ca/Newcastle-Hotels-Sunnyside-Tavern.h4474451.Hotel-Information) > > [Zara Tower Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Zara-Tower-Luxury-Suites-And-Apartments.h6419325.Hotel-Information) > > [Nightcap at Fairfield](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Nightcap-At-Fairfield.h8700557.Hotel-Information) > > [The Capsule Hotel - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Capsule-Hotel-Hostel.h18555921.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Sydney Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Sydney.h564419.Hotel-Information) > > [Junction Motel Wagga](https://www.expedia.ca/Wagga-Wagga-Hotels-Junction-Motel-Wagga.h111071946.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Morris Sydney - Handwritten Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Morris-Hotel-Sydney.h1738408.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquajet Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Coffs-Harbour-Hotels-Aquajet-Motel.h2654129.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Central Hotel managed by The Ascott Limited](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Central-Hotel-Managed-By-The-Ascott-Limited.h564406.Hotel-Information) > > [Tradewinds Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Coffs-Harbour-Hotels-Tradewinds-Apartments.h6868584.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiger Hostel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Tiger-Hostel-Sydney.h9624434.Hotel-Information) > > [Colonial Terrace Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Newcastle-Hotels-Colonial-Terrace-Motor-Inn.h6960162.Hotel-Information) > > [Nightcap at Pritchards Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Pritchards-Hotel.h8700488.Hotel-Information) > > [175 Hotel Westmead ](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-175-One-Hotels-And-Apartments.h894545.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Sydney-Potts-Point.h1680063.Hotel-Information) > > [Hamilton on Everton](https://www.expedia.ca/Newcastle-Hotels-Hamilton-On-Everton.h8639019.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Suites-Sydney.h163097.Hotel-Information) > > [Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Chippendale](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Adina-Apartment-Hotel-Sydney-Chippendale.h877083.Hotel-Information) > > [Studios On Beaumont](https://www.expedia.ca/Newcastle-Hotels-Studios-On-Beaumont.h19563656.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Sydney Potts Point by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Potts-Point-Sydney.h26479.Hotel-Information) > > [BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Wagga Wagga](https://www.expedia.ca/Wagga-Wagga-Hotels-BIG4-Wagga-Wagga-Holiday-Park.h32817993.Hotel-Information) > > [Reflections Shaws Bay - Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballina-Hotels-Reflections-Holiday-Parks-Shaws-Bay.h7247775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Newcastle-Hotels-Cardiff-Motor-Inn.h9625972.Hotel-Information) > > [Hamilton Executive Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Newcastle-Hotels-Hamilton-Executive-Apartments.h15431474.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Camperdown](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Camperdown.h24382.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Inn Illawarra ](https://www.expedia.ca/Windang-Hotels-Oasis-Resort-Village.h34874836.Hotel-Information)
