Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve selected this destination and now you need to select a hotel. 10 years ago, you ‘d have probably visited your local travel agent and trusted the face-to-face advice you were provided by the so-called ‘experts’. The 21st Century way to select and book your hotel is of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel websites.
But how do you sift through the incredible choices on offer? And more significantly, do you really trust the photographs and descriptions of the hotels that they have granted themselves with the inspiration of getting bookings?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise caution. They are typically biased, sometimes out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you know that the features that are necessary to the customer are necessary to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’s inspiration. The more reviews you check out, the more you discover how they tend to cluster at the extremes of viewpoint. On one end, you have upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have thrilled visitors who lavish praise beyond belief.
You’ll not be shocked to find out that hotels sometimes publish their own glowing reviews or that competitor’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competitors with bad reviews. It makes good sense to consider what is really essential to you when selecting a hotel. You should then select an online hotel directory that offers updated, independent, neutral info that really matters.

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

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

2. Style: it is essential to select a hotel that makes you feel comfortable – contemporary or conventional furnishings, local decor or international, official or relaxed. The perfect hotel directory should let you know of the choices 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 or not they are smart or casual. A good hotel report should tell you this, and especially 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 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 smoking cigarettes or non-smoking rooms, etc

. These things really do matter and any good hotel directory should offer you this sort of advice 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. Something worth searching for is whether the hotel offers a baby sitter service. For the business traveler wanting to escape children, this is of course really pertinent 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, swimming pool, fitness center, sauna – as well as 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 once again this does not apply to every visitor, it is definitely crucial to some.

Lastly and most importantly, the quality hotel directory evaluation team should have checked out 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 guest can and it is only then that they are really in a strong position to write 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. All the best!
