Pros:

Great location for early morning access to the airport. Walking distance to some shops and restaurants. Can purchase a few supplies in the lobby.

Cons:

Rooms are small, decor minimalist. If you just want a room for the night somewhere close to the airport it’s ok.

Pros:

The bed was comfortable and it was close to the entertainment centre.

Cons:

It was extremely small, not really what we wanted, too expensive for what it was and not clean enough. Also we had breakfast included but could only provide cereal as everything was broken. We ate at a Cafe near by. Also the split system was leaking and made a beeping noise all night.

crappy, and glad to be gone.
Pros:

The only thing i liked was its proximity to my domestic flight to Townsville. Otherwise, easily the worst place i have ever stayed. Glad to be gone.

Cons:

it was a dive and a rip-off. Easily the worst hotel room i have ever been in.

Free airport shuttle and comfortable beds
Pros:

The free shuttle, friendly staff, location close to the airport. Comfortable beds and fast wifi. Early addition charge check in from 8am if available. We will stay here again if you need a very short stay by the airport.

Spend a little more and find a much nicer place - this was truly a horror.
Pros:

Near the airport.

Cons:

The cleanliness of the ground/main floor. When I returned after dinner, there were empty pizza boxes littering the breakfast/dinner area, and a horrible smell of stale food everywhere.

The bath stall was absurdly tiny, with a horrible plastic curtain that clung to one's body thanks to the way the water current dragged the shower curtain into the stall.

It was all truly yucky.
