Cheap and easy option for airport access.
Pros:

As the saying goes, you what you pay for, and for a family room for under $150 a stone's throw from the airport it was fine. The room is very small. If everyone has a big suitcase you'd struggle to find space - consider an overnight bag and leave the big luggage in the car if that's an option. Car parking was $20 from memory. We checked in at 8.30pm and out at 5 am so didn't explore at all but there is fast food 2 mins walk away. The room and bedding were clean. The bathroom is closet sized and water was verging on warm but definitely not hot. As an airport hotel there were people coming and going at all hours of the night. If you just need a bed for an early flight and don't want to shell out for the more expensive hotels in the area then go for it - it serves its purpose.

Cons:

Small room and bathroom.

Great location, clean, but the small bathroom needs tweaking to be more user friendly.
Pros:

The location was great, clean and beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The bathroom needs a curtain to stop the water filling the toilet area floor with water. The small shower area means turning around in the shower bumps the shower controls turning the shower off! The bathroom is so small and gets completely wet meaning you actually can’t get dressed in the bathroom.

Not exactly cheap and cheerful.
Pros:

Location - easy walk to the airport. Next door to Mantra for dinner.

Cons:

The window trim in my room is in need of repair.
The lifts - one was out of order. Another one you could get out of at level 3 but you couldn’t engage the button to access the lift from the third floor landing. Meanwhile the third lift happens to be on a separate system but how would you know unless a cleaner happens to turn up at the right time to help us get out.
More like IBIS ‘no maintenance’ Budget Sydney Airport.
