Setting sail from Sydney? Enjoy a relaxed sailing day and easy parking in one move. Stay the night before at Marco Polo Motor Inn Sydney in Summer Hill from $145 Monday to Thursday, leave the car in our gated undercover car park from just $20 a day while you cruise, and head to White Bay or the Overseas Passenger Terminal rested and ready. Reception is staffed 24 hours for early sailings and late returns.
How Stay, Park & Cruise works
Book your room for the night before you sail — parking during your stay is free for guests, as always. Drive in, park undercover in the gated, CCTV-monitored car park, and settle in. On sailing day it's a short drive or an easy public-transport run to the terminal, with no long-distance dash.
While you're at sea, the car stays safely with us at simple per-day rates. Tell our 24-hour reception your sailing dates when you book — call +61 2 8880 8320 or email bookings@marcopolosydney.com.au and we'll have it arranged before you arrive.

- 1 day — $35

- 4-7 days — $25 per day
- 7 days or more — $20 per day

Why it beats parking at the terminal
Leaving the car with us is the easy, great-value option while you cruise from White Bay or Circular Quay. Here the car sits gated, undercover and watched, from $20 a day, and you start cruise morning ten minutes up the road instead of circling the wharf.
It works just as well coming home: step off the ship, collect the car — or stay one more night, sleep properly and drive home fresh. Reception never closes, so a late disembarkation is never a problem.
- No wharf parking hunt on sailing day
- Gated, undercover, CCTV-monitored the whole cruise
- Short drive to White Bay; easy run to the OPT at Circular Quay
- Stay the night after you disembark for a relaxed drive home
Comfortable rooms for the night before
Every room is air-conditioned and ensuite, with a smart TV, bar fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and tea and coffee to help you unwind before the trip. You will also find toiletries, an iron, a hairdryer, free unlimited WiFi and daily housekeeping.
Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or with the whole family, we have standard and deluxe rooms in single, queen, twin, triple and family layouts that sleep one to five guests, with rates from about $145 per night Monday to Thursday. A guest laundry and rooftop area round out the stay.
