After not being able to get a taxi from an airport hotel and being concerned with time we stay at Rydges Sydney airport with is 5 steps to the terminal. Step daughter stayed there once and rang me the night before her departure in a panic about how to get to the airport from the hotel. I told her not to worry. Just walk outside the front door, look across the road and you'll see the terminal! The next morning she contacted me and said she felt like an idiot for not realising the airport was so close.
