Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
The hotel is convenient to the airport for a next day departure. It is a very nice facility but the food is extremely expensive and there are no other choices available as you are on airport property.

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites
Dirty, stinky, rude stuff. The gym was smelly and had no machines, just a couple of noisy treadmills and a few old dumbbells. Room was noisy and the view was terrible. Nothing to save here. Just stay away from this garbage.
