Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this location and now you have to select a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel representative and trusted the in person guidance 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 using travel websites.
But how do you sort through the incredible choices available? And more notably, do you really rely on the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be practical, but you need to exercise care. They are often prejudiced, often out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you see 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 delighted guests who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels often publish their own radiant 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 really crucial to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that offers current, independent, unbiased info that truly matters.

Here are a few of the key facts you should remember: 

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

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

3. Restaurants, Cafes, 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 they are smart or informal. A good hotel report should tell you this, and particularly about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should constantly carefully consider the kind of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider crucial. 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 cigarette smoking or non-smoking rooms, etc

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

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more important to the family traveler than the business traveler. You should discover 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 baby sitter service. For the business traveler wanting to escape children, this is of course extremely appropriate too – perhaps a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something better suited!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer a comprehensive analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, health club, sauna – as well as 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 again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely important to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory inspection team should have checked out 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 really 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!
