The Seranin Gordon is an affordable hotel, so don't expect the Ritz and you will be happy with it. Gordon is a beautiful and safe suburb of Sydney and there are shops there with everything and all the services you could need. In addition, there are many restaurants catering to a wide range of tastes. Transportation there is easy on the trains, although it would be great if the hotel was a little closer to the station. It's a less than 10 minute walk from the train station to the hotel, all on paved sidewalks, but it does take a bit of time. At least to get to the station, there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel, but it's probably faster just to walk it.
The room I had was clean and on the Pacific Highway side of the hotel. This meant there was a small amount of road noise, but it didn't disturb my sleep or anything else. It wasn't huge, but was fine for one person and everything was clean. There was a refrigerator, kitchen sink and microwave along with cutlery and crockery. Some people might complain that the room was not serviced every day, but that doesn't bother me at all. Everything was modern and worked reasonably well. The shower was far better than the average hotel shower with abundant hot water.
In summary, the Seranin Gordon is clean, convenient and reasonably priced. That ticks all the boxes for me and I'd happily stay there again.
