Travelodge Hotel Sydney Airport
Was excellent for an overnight stay for an early flight out. I ESP liked the free airport shuttle. Runs every 15 mins in peak times. Room cleanness and bed comfort good. Breakfast. Take the time it was good for the money. Sadly we were rushing when we went in. Good stay for the money
