It is a basic room and service but suited our needs (sleep) the night before an early flight
Pros:

Melbourne airport was within walking distance of the hotel. They rooms were basic but all we needed to get sleep before our early morning flight. I would use this accommodation again in the future when flying out of Melbourne airport.

Cons:

There are no lifts and there are 3 floors. It didn't inconvenience my husband and I, however, it could be an issue for those will mobility issues. I knew the proximity of the accommodation to the freeway exiting Melbourne airport, so expected traffic noise.

Pros:

I appreciate the consideration given by the night shift manager, as he gave us room on the ground floor instead of the original 3rd floor. It makes it easier with the luggages. Thank you

Cons:

N.a.

Convenient for early flights!
Pros:

It’s such an easy walk to the airport! We had to be at the airport at 5am. It’s basic but it’s clean and comfortable and is close. You’re paying for convenience of proximity here!

Cons:

There’s no lift and the window is not able to be fully opened. But these are minor issues!
