Guests often find the rooms clean and suitable for a quick overnight stay, with comfy beds being a common highlight. Some guests have noted that the bathrooms can be quite small, but the hotel's location near the domestic airport, car rentals, and dining options like the adjacent restaurant and doughnut shop with great coffee, makes it a convenient and well-priced choice.

convenient locationhandy eateriestransfer bussmall bathroompoor drainagefaulty door
The location was very convenient I could walk from the terminal. It was close to eateries that was very handy for meals. I had access to use the transfer bus to the airport. The provision of tea, coffee and milk plus a bar fridge was useful.
The bathroom was a bit small and the toilet was too close to the door. Water splashed everywhere during showers with no proper drainage. The bathroom door did not lock properly and would swing open. There was only one power point available on the desk and left side of the bed making charging devices overnight difficult.

Convenient Airport Stay

easy locationcomfy bedshort walk
the location is very good to airport for a next day flight. a short walk from terminal two makes it easy. the room itself included all i needed for the single night. the bed was really comfy after a long day.
the bathroom was very small. the shower wasn't properly enclosed and water got everywhere.

the location was very close to the airport for an early flight. i appreciate there being a shuttle available to the international terminal. the room was clean and i got a comfy bed in a dark room.
the pillows were really thin, i needed more. the air conditioning was quite loud all night and i couldn't turn it off. the fridge smelled strongly of spicy food even though it was empty.
