Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this destination and now you need to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and relied on the face-to-face recommendations you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to choose and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sort through the amazing choices on offer? And more importantly, do you actually rely on the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be valuable, but you need to exercise care. They are typically biased, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the functions that are very important to the customer are very important to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you check out, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of opinion. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have delighted guests who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels in some cases post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is actually important to you when choosing a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that gives up-to-date, independent, neutral information that really matters.

Here are a few of the key facts you should keep in mind: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, close to the theme 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 type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or traditional furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you know of the options offered.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is terrific but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play a fundamental part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether or not they are smart or casual. A great hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always carefully consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. The hotel directory should elaborate on matters such as bed size, Internet Access (its cost, whether there is WIFI or wired broadband connection), Complimentary features, views from the room and high-end offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things actually do matter and any decent hotel directory should provide you this sort of recommendations on bedrooms – not just the variety of rooms which is the usual option!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the household tourist than the business tourist. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory and make your decision from there. Something worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business tourist wishing to escape children, this is of course extremely appropriate too – maybe 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, pool, health club, sauna – in addition to details of any other facilities close by such as golf courses.

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

Finally and most importantly, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have gone to 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 actually in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Best of luck!
