Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
There was constant noise above our room on the 8th floor coming from the 9th floor - banging, footsteps, and rolling equipment. We requested a quiet room upon check-in, were assured we would have a quiet room, and were placed across from the elevator with constant elevator noise all night.
