Close to airport set in a lovely area
Great hotel near airport. We spent one night before our morning flight. There are many Asian eateries nearby and we enjoyed walking around the park across the road. There is a shuttle bus that takes you to the airport which costs $12 per person. It only takes 10 minutes to get there.

There must be better airport options.
This hotel is near the airport and has a great lobby area.
However, the rooms are so bare and incredibly outdated. Very little artwork on the walls, stains on the carpet and the bathroom honestly didn’t feel like it had been cleaned well enough.
They also charge you $12 to take the shuttle to the airport. Feels like this should be included in the stay.

The Hotel was well kept and a short distance from the international terminal. The restaurant is a bit pricy. They have bar menu, but it ,too ,was on the high side of what you might expect. Taxi to the airport was AU$ 25

Ok hotel, terrible food
Hotel was decent although the flush in the toilet was not working well but do yourself. Favour and do not order room service.
We had a grilled chicken burger and hamburger and they were the worst we ever had. The chicken was not touched by any spice (not even salt) and burger was so well done that only eatable part was bacon. Fries were ok.
