Simple, clean, not a convenient area.
Pros:

Rooms were simple & clean.

Cons:

Update the profile STAT, the pub looks to have been in ‘renovation’ stage for quite some time…no bistro or food available.
Room service menus still in rooms, with absolutely zero mention of a closed down kitchen.

Poor staff member was manning a busy TAB/pokies/bar area & the accomodation check ins by herself ~ customers in the bar were disgruntled whilst waiting for her to check us in.

It was not bad for a one night stay for an early international flight.
Pros:

The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive.

Cons:

The night was noisy due to a pub downstairs with pokies. The area felt unsafe as we spotted a few dodgy people with hoods on roaming outside the hotel.

Pros:

There wasn’t a lot we liked. Nice hot showers and a comfy bed. This hotel is a very basic room above a gaming casino. It had a locked door that you had to enter to get to your room. The rooms are on the second floor with no elevator. No handicap accessible. It was fine for a one night stay that was close to the airport. We flew out the next morning.

Cons:

It was an unusual setup that left us feeling uneasy but we were fine in the end. The casino closes at 4 am and no one is on the grounds from 4am to 10 am. If you checked out between those hours you had to use a back stairwell to leave the building. No elevator for luggage hauling.
