Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve chosen this location and now you need to choose a hotel. Ten years back, you ‘d have most likely visited your local travel agent and relied on the in person guidance you were given by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to pick and book your hotel is obviously on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sort through the amazing options available? And more significantly, do you really rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, 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 They are frequently prejudiced, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all.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 know that the functions that are essential to the reviewer are essential to you? Then there’s the issue of the reviewer’s motivation. The more reviews you read, the more you notice how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have angry reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have pleased visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to learn that hotels sometimes post their own glowing reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is really important to you when selecting a hotel. You should then choose an online hotel directory site that gives up-to-date, independent, neutral 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 theme 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 offered along with some kind of an interactive map.

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

3. Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars: local color is terrific 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 wise or informal. A great 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 important. 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 spaces, etc

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

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 site and make your decision from there. Something worth looking for is whether the hotel offers a babysitter service. For the business traveler wanting to leave children, this is obviously very relevant too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

6. Leisure Facilities: the site should offer an in-depth analysis of leisure services within the hotel – spa, pool, fitness center, 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 again this does not apply to every visitor, it is absolutely crucial to some.

Finally and most notably, the quality hotel directory site inspection team should have checked out 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 really in a strong position to blog about the hotel.
with the above details, there is no reason why you should not find the very best hotel in the Hills District of Sydney. Good luck!
