We enjoyed our five night stay at the Crown Plaza Parramatta. The concierge and desk staff were very helpful with maps and schedules of regional transportation. The room and facilities were very clean and our room was well taken care of during our stay. The hotel is located near the main cafe street - a big selection of restaurants. The hotel breakfast was worth the price - very extensive buffet.

The train station is a bit of a walk from the hotel but the rail service from Sydney to Parramatta was very good and easy to navigate once you get to the station. The hotel is a short walk -- about 7 minutes to the ferry service. A nice excursion was taking the River Cat to Sydney harbor.
