Don't trust their offers
Pros:

The staff were excellent. The Manager on duty attempted to assist with an offer which I obtained on Booking.com but indicated as it did not appear on their system they could not redeem it. Despite me showing them the offer, it was not redeemed. The Manager remained polite, even when QAS had to attend due to a medical emergency at the counter.

Cons:

It was disgraceful that the company would advertise an offer on Booking.com and then not honour it. They continued to advertise the offer in the days past my stay, despite advising me it was not something they were offering at this time. So essentially they got extra money for the booking and failed to honour their obligation.

I’m glad I was only staying one night.
Pros:

Location adjacent to Airport.

Cons:

Took nearly an hour to check in, main light switch located at far side bedside table, TV didn’t work, shower is ridiculously small and shower door hits the toilet.
Paid way over the top for a beer downstairs and the $39 Chicken Parmi was burnt and portion size was very small.
