Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this destination and now you need to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person suggestions you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by using travel sites.
But how do you sort through the incredible choices on offer? And more significantly, do you truly rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise care. They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s motivation. 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 upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have happy visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels sometimes post 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 selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory site that offers current, independent, objective 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 example, close to the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is paramount. Any decent directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided as well as some type of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or conventional furnishings, local design or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the alternatives available.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is fantastic but the hotel’s own restaurants and bars can play an important part in your stay. You should be aware of choice, style and whether they are smart or casual. A good hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider essential. The hotel directory site 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 luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things truly do matter and any decent hotel directory site should provide you this sort of suggestions on bedrooms – not just the number of rooms which is the usual choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should find out just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. Something worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business traveler wishing to escape children, this is of course very pertinent too – possibly 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, swimming pool, gym, sauna – as well as 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 absolutely crucial to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory site evaluation team should have visited the hotel in question regularly, met the personnel, slept in a bedroom and tasted the food. They should experience the hotel as only a hotel guest 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 best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
