The Mascot Travelodge is a great place to stay before or after catching a flight from Sydney Airport.
It's an easy 15-minute walk from the Domestic Terminal, so you save on the rip-off airport train stop. Getting to the Travelodge from Mascot Station is another easy walk, about ten minutes up the main road.
Staff are friendly, it's quiet and you're able to walk to Mascot's main drag also, if you want to grab something to eat or drink the night before you leave. Alternatively, there's also a bar and restaurant the hotel itself.
The rooms are clean and functional. I liked the little table and chairs, which allowed me to sit in front of the TV, watching the rugby league, relaxing before my big day of travel.
I'll stay here again.
