Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this location and now you have to choose a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel representative and relied on the in person suggestions you were offered by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic options on offer? And more importantly, do you truly trust the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be handy, but you need to exercise care. They are often biased, sometimes out of date, and might not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the functions that are essential to the customer are essential to you? Then there’s the issue of the customer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you discover 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 pleased guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to find out that hotels sometimes publish their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is truly essential to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that provides updated, independent, objective information that truly matters.

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

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for instance, near the amusement park, or convenient for the airport, then location is critical. Any good directory site should offer a location map of the hotel and its environs. There should be distance charts to the airport provided along with some form of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is very important to choose a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – modern or conventional furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory site should let you understand of the choices available.

3. Restaurants, Cafes, 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 or not they are clever or informal. 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 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 facilities, views from the room and luxury offerings like a Pillow menu or Bath menu, choice of cigarette smoking or non-smoking spaces, and so on

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should learn just how child-friendly the hotel is from the directory site and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business traveler wishing to leave children, this is of course very appropriate too – possibly a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a detailed analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, fitness center, sauna – along with 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely essential to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory site assessment team should have gone to the hotel in question regularly, 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 write about the hotel.
with the above info, there is no reason why you shouldn’t find the best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. All the best!
