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 Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Blackfoot](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Hotel-Blackfoot.h15839.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jersey City](https://www.expedia.ca/Jersey-City-Hotels.d6023404.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Vancouver Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Vancouver-Airport.h7799.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Dominican-Republic-Family-Hotel.0-0-d50-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Scarborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6070427-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Sydney Wentworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sofitel-Sydney-Wentworth.h426577.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h4807.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Sydney-Airport.h38420088.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Australia Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Tank-Stream.h11718621.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney-Coogee-Beach-By-IHG.h1747.Hotel-Information) > > [YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-YEHS-Hotel-Sydney-Harbour-Suites.h426104.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Amora-Hotel-Jamison-Sydney.h454969.Hotel-Information) > > [SKYE Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-SKYE-Suites-Sydney.h24507540.Hotel-Information) > > [Little National Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Little-National-Hotel-Sydney.h54032015.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Packages > [Amalfi Coast Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Coast.d180060.Destination-Travel-Guides)
