Meriton Suites Church Street, Parramatta
Generally good and I like Meriton Suites. With this one though there were a number of ‘issues’ like no wine or other glasses, small bedroom and construction going on at the back that we didn’t know about until getting into the room. So not top notch on this occasion.
