Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you have to pick a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and relied on the face-to-face guidance you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the amazing options available? And more significantly, do you truly trust the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the inspiration of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently prejudiced, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are necessary to the reviewer are necessary to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you discover how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have thrilled guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to learn that hotels in some cases post their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is truly essential to you when choosing a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory that offers updated, independent, neutral information that truly matters.

Here are some of the key facts you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is vital. Any decent directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided in addition to some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or standard furnishings, local design or international, formal or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the alternatives available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play a vital part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether or not they are wise or informal. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly thoroughly consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider essential. The hotel directory should elaborate on matters such as bed size, Internet Access (its cost, whether there is WIFI or wired broadband connection), Complimentary facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, etc

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory should offer you this sort of guidance on bed rooms – not just the number of spaces which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household traveler than the business traveler. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business traveler wishing to leave children, this is obviously very pertinent too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, swimming pool, fitness center, sauna – in addition to details of any other facilities close by such as golf courses.

7. Special Needs: the hotel directory site should recommend the visitor of each hotel’s special needs services and accessibility policy. Whilst once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely crucial to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory evaluation team should have visited the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the personnel, slept in a bedroom and tasted the food. They should experience the hotel as only a hotel visitor can and it is only then that they are truly in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
