Lakeside Hotel and Conference Centre

Everything ! The front staffs were very friendly especially Dana. We requested for a room upgrade with balcony and this was looked into very politely. The room was clean with a peaceful lake view. The occasional visits from the birds during the day was the best part of our stay. Free parking and convenient location. Would definitely book again.

I had two different rooms because I made a separate booking for each night as I was unsure if I was going to be there for both days). My bed on both nights was fantastic and super comfy. Room had plenty of space in general and the free parking was very much appreciated (I hate paying for parking). The outlook on my first night across the pond on Macquarie Uni campus is always a nice sight instead of suburbia. The rooms are also quiet despite the M2 Motorway not being that far away. Although I did not use it, the iron appeared to be quite new and no muck on the hotplate or signs that it would ruin your shirt if you went to press it. The kettle, which I did use to make a cup of tea, was clean and dry when I went to use it. I also was able to get an 11am check out (I could have possibly gotten 12 noon which would have suited me better but sometimes you just don't want to stretch the friendship, even if it's offered) but I was still made feel quite welcome to sit on a comfy lounge in the foyer to finish my work (Hint: you can always take a short walk across to the Uni and sit in the food court and the 2 levels of study spaces above over at the Uni - just don't expect Wi-Fi. Sitting in the foyer I was still able to use the hotel Wi-Fi).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic location, fantastic room. Awesome over looking the lake. Walking distance to Shopping centre and multiple food choice. Close to public transport and University which also has many food options and facilities. Family have stayed here multiple times. Restaurant onsite and room service, vending machines available close by.

This is the best place to stay if you have family in the area or a child studying at Macquarie uni. Exceptional value and easy to get around from here- especially if you have a car. I love waking to the birds - sunlight and park in front of the hotel and its a short stroll across the grass to the uni to meet up with my daughter between lectures! The room is perfect- clean comfortable- tv- wifi! And a great coffee machine 20 m away to make your morning cuppa!! We have stayed here 3 times now for 7 days at a time and it is only getting better !

Comfortable bed, tranquil country view for a city, fantastic bathroom facilities I loved the complimentary bathroom products my skin and hair felt amazing! Shower was great, tv so we could watch our show and Netflix/ movie access.
