The service we received during our short stay was wonderful. Our room was upgraded and it was lovely, quiet enough to have a great, albeit short sleep. We booked Carparking for the duration of our holiday in Oz through the website, handed our keys over when we checked in, and the shuttle to airport was seamless at 5am. Cannot recommend highly enough…we’ll certainly be back!
