Harp Hotel
The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the sound of the pub was significantly more reduced in the room. Fantastic! The only reason I don’t give a 5 star review is because I tend not to trust 5 star reviews

Rydges Campbelltown
Room was clean and staff were great, maybe a seperate area for kids in the lower level for breakfast as our 1 year old did get a little noisy at one stage and the poor cranky lady in the corner reading her book didn’t really appreciate it. But loved the stay and would stay again
