This hotel is really not bad at all. If you are looking for a clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay in this part of Sydney (which we were) then this is well worth your consideration. There are some particular reasons that standout for me including location (and the amenities close-by). I would definitely stay again.

Is the location good?
There are significant advantages of this hotel if you are visiting the northern parts of Sydney. I had a set of events that took me to Baulkham Hills and the Northern Beaches, so the hotel’s location on the junction of Ryde Road and the M2 is perfect for these parts.
In addition to this, it is a short walk (admittedly beside busy roads) into the quite serene Lane Cove National Park. Being able to go for a jog or walk through here was a real plus. Finally, within walking distance are a very large shopping mall, restaurants, fast food outlets and many office complexes in this area.

What is the room like?
We stayed in a loft suite with the whole family, at a rate of $275 per night including breakfast (which covered the kids as they were 12 and under). This worked out quite well – assuming your kids are happy to sleep on a sofa bed together.
There were a few quirky things about the suite – it seemed impossible to have very limited reading lights on upstairs whilst having all lights off downstairs. This, however, was really the only annoying thing. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable. Everything was made up as requested on arrival and plenty of towels and amenities were available. When serviced, the room was returned to an immaculate state.
Downstairs had a desk, sofa bed, sofa, bathroom (without shower), TV. Upstairs had main bed, bathroom, TV.

But are the beds comfortable?
The king-sized bed was firm and had a light, basic duvet. I really liked it and slept really well, but my wife found it a little too firm. I suppose it depends on your preference.

What was the food like?
It was basic but OK. Quite satisfactory as something included in the room rate, but I would absolutely not pay the price quoted if not included in the room rate. If you are to fork out a significant amount of cash for a hotel breakfast, it needs to be something special, which this was not. Having said that, the kids enjoyed the hot breakfast.

Was it quiet?
Yes it was pretty good, particularly given that it is near a pretty busy main road.

Anything special?
As mentioned, the proximity to Lane Cove National Park is a real plus if you like some exercise in the morning or afternoon – a very tranquil escape from the city.

This was the second time staying at this hotel in Sydney. It is located in more of a corporate business area and perfect if you do not want to stay in Sydney's CBD and/or pay the higher Sydney hotel prices! The staff is friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was good and they kept it out for 30 minutes after their closing time as there were people still coming in, thank you! I have stayed at this Courtyard the past two Decembers right after Christmas and the place is consistently good.

It was a very good stay. Big room, spacious bathroom and very clean. The only downside of it was they don't provide breakfast with their rooms with no cafes around.

We have found this hotel an ideal choice for weeken trips to Sydney. The service is excellent and the rooms very clean and spacious. It is easy to reach by car and then a very convenient 200 meters to the railway station. Even on weekends the service runs every 15 mins into the city and you can get some stunning glimpses of the harbour from the train. Since the hotel is located in the 'technology precinct' at Macquarie Park It icaters for business travellers, and on weekends there are often reduced rates, if booking online.Try the Express breakfast at $6.50, a qucik alternative to the restaurant which can be crowded at times if there is a tour group in the hotel.
