Hotels Near Sydney Airport

[Tim Bowrey]

Hey everyone my parents put up an idea(For my 18th b'day) of putting me and my best mate/spotter in a hotel right near the airport for 2 nights providing us with 3 solid days of spotting. I have noticed that the Stamford and Formula 1 hotels are quite close by.

So.. My question is..

Which would have the best view of the airport i guess if theres anywhere that i can get a view of aircraft that are in at Int'l terminal and view of RWY16R/34L if thats possible? Of course i would look at getting in the top level but has anybody stayed at any hotels in the area which has a good overview of the airport? Im looking at basically the Stamford, Formula One or maybe even Novotel(might be too far away).

I have seen this photo taken by Mark H from the Formula One which looks like a pretty top view: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6053194

Can anyone give me pointers?
