Rooms were very clean and perfect for what we needed. Very close to the airport. Only fault we found was the light that comes into the rooms of a night. Block out blinds would be good as bed closest to the window is like sleeping in daylight.

Slightly above average

The room was pretty good and clean although the carpet looks like it could do with a good scrub. It was p difficult to sleep due to the quite hard bed and very hard pillow as well as light coming in around the blinds as there is no blockout curtains. Tradies leaving at 4.15am were being loud and inconsiderate.
