When we arrived there was no parking so my husband with MS had to walk up a big hill while I lugged our two children up. Get to the room and our keys didn’t work. The mini fridge stopped working in the middle of the night so I had to dump all our babies milk. They offered us a free breakfast for the inconvenience but we requested a refund and checked out instead. Horrible experience. Staff was kind and understanding though. Wouldn’t stay there again.

The main reasons why I always stay at the Sydney Holiday Inn is that the hotel is well maintained, they have two newly renovated restaurants that serve exceptional food, and the staff are incredible.
