Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good value for money for an overnight stay at the airport. Cleanliness in general good although a build up of dust etc on the extract fan in the shower
Quick walk from the Qantas terminal. Cheap room and what you expect for cheap. So it’s okay.
Only thing, there is no lift in building. You may have to walk up 3 levels
Hotel is ok for overnight, room smallish but enough for one night , air conditioning not working in the room, there was a blanket
Tea and coffee making , small refrigerator
No lifts , so if your condition is so where you struggle with stairs , not the hotel for you
