Ace Hotel Sydney
Great place with artistic vibe. Rooms were eclectic. Bed and pillow excellent! Good lunch spot also. Stairs up into the lobby but someone there to help with the luggage.

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
This is a perfect hotel to stay if you have an early or late flight out of Sydney airport. All you have to do is walk across the street and you are there. It was clean. It had two nice restaurants. Do not hesitate to book this hotel.

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites
Room was nice and clean, location is central. Stated that airport shuttle was available but it actually costs money so that felt a little bit of a lie.
