Einmal und nie wieder
Pros:

Es gibt einen großen Parkplatz, das wars dann aber schon.

Cons:

Zimmer sind extrem klein, extrem hellhörig, man hört einfach alles was am Gang oder anderen Zimmer ist. Wir hatten zwar ein Zimmer mit Fenster, aber es ähnelte eher einem ohne da vor unserem Fenster ein Bretterverschlag mit Lüftung war. Wir konnten zwar lüften aber nicht einmal sehen wie das Wetter war. In dem Zimmer hatte es trotz lüften einen sehr unangenehmen Geruch, auch die Bettdecke und Kissen hatten einen ekligen Schweißgeruch, Matratzen komplett durchgelegen. Beim Checkin mussten wir schon länger warten, da bei den angegebenen Check-in Zeiten die Rezeption unbesetzt war. In dem Hotel ist zusätzlich eine Spielhalle mit Spielautomaten welche auch von externen Leuten besucht wird. Die ist auch bis früh morgens geöffnet. Wir haben das Hotel wegen der Nähe zum Flughafen gebucht, und waren zum Glück nur für 2 Nächte dort. Wenn wir länger geblieben wären, hätten wir uns was neues gesucht. Ich würde das Hotel selbst nie mehr buchen und es auch keinem weiter empfehlen.

Room would be great in another location
Pros:

Tidy, fresh room, with own air con. Convenient to airport and lots of free parking

Cons:

The location isn’t great. It’s a sterile pokie-focused pub in the car park of a Westfield shopping centre, I can’t imagine staying there for anything other than a place to sleep before going to the airport. The rooms are not soundproofed so you can hear music going on in the pub. The worst was that our room (6) made a horrendous squealing sound whenever the shower was on - I felt quite sorry for any of our neighbours when we were getting ready to leave for a flight at 4:40am!

Pros:

Restaurant very nice and catered for families including kids play area. Easy parking in front of hotel.

Cons:

Bathroom a little compact but OK. Checked out at about 9.30am but could not access reception as it does not open till 10am and had to walk about 300 metres from back entrance to my car at the front entrance. Army veteran with severe hip and lower back injuries which made the walk hard.

The Staff were more than helpful and you were made to feel welcome
Pros:

The bathroom was good the single beds were a bit disappointing a queen-sized bed in the room would have been much better.

Cons:

There was a lot of noise from the carpark a continual humming like a large refrigeration unit running constantly
There was a lot of dust behind the bedside cupboards.
