Reception staff were helpful, located close to the airport and helped book a taxi early in the morning. Dated room, some stains on the bedding and generally could have been cleaner. Small pool overlooking the road was nice to cool down in but not much else.

The room was in good condition, the bathroom was reasonable condition but the shower dripped. My room was on the Sheridan Street side. It was moderately noisy. I tried to adjust the air-conditioning up to make the room warmer but gave up.

All very good for cheaper price accommodation near the airport. Only difficult situation is that the bathroom showers are situated in a bath tub making it difficult for elderly or impaired visitors.
