Pacific International Suites-Parramatta

has anyopne heard of this place ?

any feed back would be appreciated

dunno the place.. but on the plus side.. its close to where the dyno day is.. other hand its far away from the city.. but not too bad as there is a train station at parramatta that gets you to the city pretty fast..

Parramatta is Sydney's second biggest CBD outside the Sydney city CBD itself, and just about everything you'll need is in or around there. It's only around 10-15mins drive from where the Dyno Day is being held.

Like Sam said, there's a train station about 3mins walk away from the hotel you mentioned, and the train will take you anywhere around Sydney, with fast trains taking around 35mins to get into Sydney city itself. The hotel is pretty much right in the heart of Parramatta, and there's a MASSIVE Westfields shopping centre (was, and might still be, the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere) right nearby.

I'm close to Parra JoeCrack you'll love how many Skylines (and imports in general) are in this area!

You have to get some of the SAUNSW boys to show you around.

If you're here on holidays, stay in the city

Self contained apartments would be the way to go

Seeing all these worked engines is making me jealous...

Purple cam pulleys on an RB? Hmmm...

[N1GTR]

I think purple ones are HKS

I'm with Steve-o, I'd stay in the city and for two weeks, you will appreciate self contained apartments for space and being able to make your own breakfast etc. They usually have washing machines and clothes dryers etc as well as everything you need in the way of utensils to cook with.

[joecrack]

ok well does anyone know any good ones in the city ?

Lonely Planets "Thorn Tree Forum" is a travellers bible.

There are hundreds of threads giving peoples experience of different hotels etc and this link is one of the more recent hotel questions asked.

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thre...0&tstart=15

I think they are right in saying you will get better priced hotels around Chinatown/Haymarket/Central (train) Station and more restaurants/markets etc. There used to be a yuppie backpackers around Central Station if I remember correctly (I don't live there). But, there are reasonable self contained apartments that weren't too bad value (although none come to mind).

How long are you in oz? Are you planning on getting out of Sydney? Barrier Reef? Other?

I found this link to hotels on Thorn Tree too http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/hotel/New-S...dney-R2108.html

Steve-O's right. HKS makes girly car equipment these days
