Holiday Inn Express Sydney Macquarie Park by IHG
The staff was helpful and organised enough cups and glasses for us. No cutlery or plates in the room. Friendly reception staff. Breakfast varied over the days and something for everyone. Staff that filled up the breakfast buffet and cleared the tables were very friendly.
