Room had obviously been remodeled recently and it was great! Also, you can come and go from the accomodation without having to go through the bistro/ bar. Very convenient location directly across from train station and close to variety of food outlets!

My wife and I enjoyed our one night stay at General Gordon. The rooms were well decorated, clean and spacious. Parking was a hassle but this is inner suburban Sydney. We'd definitely stay here again.

It was in a perfect location for us to fly in from country NSW, $30 cab fare between airport & motel, walk to and from a concert at the Factory Theatre, then fly home in the morning. A quick trip but everything was well up to standard and we'll definitely stay again.
