Welcome to CC Backpack

So you’re going to the Hills District of Sydney. You’ve picked this location and now you have to pick a hotel. Ten years ago, you ‘d have probably 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 of course on the Internet, by utilizing travel sites.
But how do you sift through the fantastic choices available? And more significantly, do you really rely on the photos and descriptions of the hotels that they have awarded themselves with the motivation of getting reservations?
Traveler reviews can be helpful, but you need to exercise caution. They are frequently prejudiced, in some cases out of date, and may not serve your interests at all. How do you understand that the features that are important to the customer are important to you? Then there’s the problem of the customer’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 upset reviewers with axes to grind; at the other, you have thrilled visitors who lavish appreciation beyond belief.
You’ll not be surprised to discover that hotels in some cases post their own radiant reviews or that rival’s line up for the chance to lambaste the competition with bad reviews. It makes sense to consider what is really important to you when choosing a hotel. You should then pick an online hotel directory that gives updated, independent, objective information that truly matters.

Here are some of the key facts you should remember: 

1. Location: if it matters that your hotel is, for example, near 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 along with some kind of an interactive map.

2. Style: it is important to pick a hotel that makes you feel comfy – modern or conventional furnishings, local decoration or international, official or relaxed. The ideal hotel directory should let you understand of the options offered.

3. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Bars: local color is excellent 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 smart or casual. An excellent hotel report should tell you this, and especially about breakfast facilities.

4. Bedroom Facilities: you should always thoroughly consider the type of facilities you need from your bedroom and find a hotel that has those you consider important. 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 smoking or non-smoking rooms, and so on

. These things really do matter and any good hotel directory should provide you this sort of guidance on bed rooms – not just the variety of rooms which is the typical choice!

5. Children’s’ Facilities: more vital to the family tourist than business tourist. You should learn 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 babysitter service. For business tourist wishing to leave children, this is of course extremely relevant too – maybe a hotel that is not child-friendly would be something more appropriate!

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

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