Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and relied on the face-to-face advice you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sift through the incredible options available? And more importantly, do you truly rely on the pictures and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise caution. They are often biased, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you observe how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have angry customers with axes to grind; at the other, you have thrilled visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to learn that hotels in some cases publish their own glowing reviews or that competitor’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 picking a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that provides up-to-date, independent, objective info that really matters.

Here are some of the key realities you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, close to the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any decent directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport provided along with some kind of an interactive map.

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

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is great 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 casual. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the type 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 amenities, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of smoking cigarettes or non-smoking spaces, and so on

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory should provide you this sort of advice on bed rooms – not just the variety of spaces which is the typical choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the household traveler than the business traveler. You should find out just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. One thing worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business traveler wanting to escape children, this is of course extremely pertinent too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, gym, sauna – along with details of any other facilities nearby 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 definitely vital to some.

Lastly and most notably, the quality hotel directory assessment team should have gone to the hotel in question on a regular basis, met the staff, 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 discuss the hotel.
with the above information, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
