I rarely write these poor reviews, however, our stay at the Holiday Inn in Sydney was horrible, they could not decide which room rate to charge each night of our stay, 35 minute wait for breakfast and no server, no menu or no coffee, coffe machine in lobby not working and if it was , it would cost another $2,00...

I only stayed one night but it was quite pleasant. The room was nice, the bed very comfortable and it was in good shape all around. Though it appears that the while rooms may have been renovated (or if not, they look pretty good) that the bathrooms haven't and look a bit older. I found the hotel nice and clean.... More

I had to have surgery on my broken ankle at 8:30am Saturday morning and required a driver. That meant the whole family of five had to pack up and leave north of smokey around 5:30am. Instead of waiting at the hospital all day with the kids my wife called the front desk and asked if she could rent a room... More

This was the old Delta so I expected it to be roomy and well laid out. The new reno to a Holiday Inn is modern if not a little over the top. Rooms are great, beds new and comfortable. Internet is a little on the weak side so don't expect to do much beyond basic surfing the web. Hotel has... More

My family had a great time in the pool and on the waterslide. The exercise room was well equiped with new machines and lots of them. The room was nice except that it was beside the stairs and we could here everything that was going on. The restaurant was just ok but there are lots of choices around the hotel.... More

I stayed for business in early March 2013 and the hotel was under renovations. The staff were amazing and I didn't find the construction impacted my stay other than having to use another elevator. However, the signage to point you in the right direction was easy to follow. My room was beautiful...with a spectacular view of the harbour. The food... More

I had to do some business in Sydney and was somewhat unaware about Hotel options in the Region.

I have stayed here when this was the Delta, and it's a great hotel. It can be pricey but it's the best hotel in the area - if you're not going cabins or bed and breakfasts, this is your best choice. Other inns and hotels in town are poorly renovated and some are really just not good at all. I... More
