State of Origin 2013 - Game 3 @ ANZ Stadium NSW

ANZ Stadium will host the biggest rivalry in Australian sport when NSW take on QLD in match three.

Game 3 will see the series return again to ANZ Stadium on Wednesday July 17.

State of Origin Series is the greatest rivalry in Australian sport and with New South Wales desperate to end a seven year losing streak, it is sure to be another gripping contest.

Critics have labelled the all-conquering Maroons as one of the finest Rugby League teams ever assembled and they'll be looking to make it eight straight against a NSW Blues outfit with newfound resolve after a heart-stopping finish to last year's series. The series takes on extra importance, as the Blues under new coach Laurie Daley look to end the Maroons record breaking seven consecutive series winning streak.

Secure your tickets now for what promises to be a memorable night in the Australian sporting calendar for 2013!

“Upgrade on an upgrade!”

Reviewed 4 July 2013 

We got a late special on wotif for an upgrade to a deluxe room on a Saturday nigh for $140. When we arrived we were upgraded to a master suite on the top floor! The hotel was great for doing things down the Central end of town, eg the outlets at Haymarket, book store at Central and a short walk to the QVB. It was very well furnished and was very quiet, especially considering its so close to the train line. Will definitely stay here again, it would be a perfect place to stay if you were seeing a show at the Capital!

“good location”

Reviewed June 19, 2013

I stayed here for 2 nights the room was clean and tidy. It is close to public transport , bars and a number of good asian resturants. If travelling to or from the airport i would use the train as it is much cheaper than using a taxi ,train approx $16 taxi approx $40 +. I would stay here again.

“Not bad as a stop over en route overseas”

Reviewed June 18, 2013

This hotel has a terrific position in Pitt St, one block from the light rail stop, around the corner from Paddy's market, a short stroll through the now cleaned up park to trains everywhere from Central, and a short taxi ride to Opera on the Harbour in the Botanic Gardens. The Opera House is a train ride away followed by a very pleasant harbourside stroll to your evening out.

The rooms are not huge or fancy but quite comfortable and you will not get scalded by hot water in the bathroom. Rooms facing Goulburn St? are less noisy than Pitt and George Streets especially on friday nights.The breakfast price is on par with any of the surrounding restaurants and easier to get to without having to dress up.
