ibis budget Sydney Olympic Park
Attended a concert at Qudos, checked in, parked in P1 and then walked back afterwards and the process couldn’t have been easier. The room was tidy, functional and fit for purpose. Didn’t hear many other guests through the walls aside from the occasional door slam. Would stay again
