Hyatt Regency Sydney
For a Hyatt, I felt the room was very basic. While the windows were electronic contolled from the bedside, the temperature control was pretty basic.

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
Breakfast buffet staff were very friendly and helpful, even when our kids accidently broke things. Sound and light isolation in the rooms was very good. Can't use the stairs unless there's a fire though, which was a bit annoying
