Appreciate the feedback on Mascot and the Moxy.

I'm quite familiar with Sydney and Australia having previously lived there and coming back annually on holiday and to visit friends. My main objective is to have a clean, safe, and relatively inexpensive place to stay near the airport (thanks Black Fridays sales!) and it sounds like this place checks the boxes. My friend and I are both the target demographic for the Moxy so no worries on the beds or the "unique" set up of the rooms and hotels. We've previously stayed at a couple Moxys in NYC so I would assume there won't be any surprises. The one issue that gives me pause would be the construction and lack of appropriate infrastructure to/from the hotel. Maybe it might be worth taking the hotel shuttle to/from the airport? Once my friend arrives two days after me, we'll be relocating to the CBD on a 5 night points stay to do all the touristy things that Sydney entails. In the meantime since I'll be in Australia for a month, the time and distance from the CBD and Eastern Suburbs aren't a concern as I plan to take it slow and spend some time at Bondi Junction and Pitt Street looking for some Boxing Day sales. And it'll be nice to be in relatively close proximity to The Grounds of Alexandria to get some Instagram content early in the morning before the crowds arrive.
