Hotwire Hotel: Sydney, Australia - July 2nd - July 5th

[dzj]

Hello all,

I just booked a holiday where I am traveling through Sydney, Australia twice in June/July, I'm going to discuss both of them eventually, but I am quite interested in a place I saw doing a initial search this morning.

I am looking to book a place for July 2nd through 5th.  Just started looking, hoping to find something reasonably priced and within a reasonable travel area in town.  I'll be adding to this list as I investigate, but I noticed a unique amentitiy for this one.  Airport shuttle is what has me jumping back to this one.

I don't have a guess for this property but i would resist the temptation to be lured by the Shuttle amenity listed...

 

The Airport Shuttle amenity only means that a shuttle is available, and given this location, i would assume that it comes at an additional fee (it may even be a private company that runs a shared shuttle service which theoretically would make all hotels in the area able to list an "Airport Shuttle" as an amenity)

 

As well, even if this was a free amenity, the hotel overall gets poor reviews:

Overall satisfaction 2.5

Condition of hotel 2.7

Quality of service 3.2

Room comfort 2.9

Room cleanliness 3

Location of hotel -0.2 (i assume this on is a mistake)

 

I don't know the cost of a taxi (or shuttle, train, or public bus) from the airport to this area... but would saving this amount be worth staying at a hotel for 3 nites with such sub-par feedback such as the ratings above?

 

What is your budget (per nite before taxes/fees) for this leg of your trip?
