Holiday Inn Express Sydney Macquarie Park (Australia)

What is your Priority Club status?
Spire

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Standard award room, upgraded to Queen Superior Corner room

How are the rooms?
The hotel is new and has a bright and colourful modern design, and is very clean
Plenty of plug sockets.
Spacious bathroom and good water pressure
Interesting bathroom amenities in individual bottles rather than a dispenser
Fast wifi

What was good and what was bad?
Received welcome amenity points quickly
Slightly odd that one person was actually asking for room numbers and ticking them off a list at breakfast - never had this in an HIX before
Good quality hot and cold food with some Asian items, interesting juices and smoothies.
Shopping centre opposite
Far from city centre but convenient access to train station and buses. Station is uphill from hotel, and is closing for some time while the railway line is converted to Sydney Metro.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
A$217, kind of expensive for an HIX, but this hotel doesn't really suit the HIX brand, would fit Hotel Indigo better.
But booked last minute, and got lots of points back from Accelerate.
Don't really want to pay more than $150 for this sort of place, which is never going to happen, so probably won't stay again unless there is a good promotion or someone else is paying.
