Mercure Sydney Macquarie Park

We stayed the night of Ed Sheeran at Olympic park. We had 2 rooms - 1 with a king bed and the other with a king bed and sofa bed. Parking was only $15 and while the rooms are a little dated they are spotless with extremely comfortable beds. The hotel is walking distance to Macquarie park shopping centre and the price is reasonable for the quality. A good place to stay after an event and a lot cheaper than staying at Olympic park.

What a wonderful find. The beds were really comfortable, the room quiet. Everywhere was very clean and the staff very helpful. The only downside is that they don’t have a restaurant for dinner but luckily we found Lachlan’s a mere 300 metres away that had a delicious menu for dinner. A mere 20 minute taxi ride to the Accor Stadium made it the ideal location for us. The breakfast dining room was well presented with a very good range of cooked and buffet food.

The room is clean and bright but feels like a throwback to 1980s dormitory. The bathroom does not have a good shower, water pressure is very poor and the shower door doesn’t close well. The furniture looks like dorm furnitures 20 years ago. The aircon control was not functional and was covered by a piece of carton taped with Band-Aid’s . You have no way of adjusting room temperature. This place is no where near the standard of an Accor hotel.

Clean, no frills, but perfectly fine. The hotel used to be a Travelodge and that still shows in the furniture and so on, which is all very no-frills. Not that this is a problem, the room was large, the bedding and bathroom clean. My only compliant was no hot food for breakfast - chef apparently away for training. So breakfast was a bit light on. Otherwise - very happy with this place.

This has recently changed from a Travelodge to a Mercure with some good improvements. Breakfast ($$$) and a bar are open again. Rooms are the same good size with a sofa. Bathrooms are ok sized and clean. Generally the hotel is fairly quiet but our room this time had a gap at the top of the windows that allowed in traffic noise. Decent open air parking is available out the back for $15 per day. Staff were helpful but I suspect still finding their way with the change in ownership. All up, it’s a good reliable stay without breaking the bank.
