Lidcombe is the gateway station to Sydney Olympic Park and a busy hub for Auburn, Rookwood and the western suburbs, but it has few places to stay. Marco Polo Motor Inn Sydney in Summer Hill is a short, direct train ride down the line, with motel rooms from $140, one free secured undercover parking spot with every booking and reception open 24 hours. It suits visitors to family in the area, workers on local sites, stadium-goers and anyone wanting a clean, quiet room with the city also 15 minutes away.
Getting to Lidcombe and around
Summer Hill station is a 400-metre walk from the hotel. Trains toward Lidcombe run via Strathfield and take about 15 minutes; from Lidcombe, the Olympic Park shuttle train reaches the stadiums in a few minutes, and Auburn is the next station along. By car, Lidcombe is about 9 kilometres west along Parramatta Road, around 15 to 20 minutes.
Costco Auburn, Rookwood Cemetery, Auburn Botanic Gardens, Auburn Hospital and the Lidcombe shopping centre are all within a few minutes of Lidcombe station.
