Highly recommend, great value for money.
Pros:

Proximity to airport makes it an ideal stay if flying early. Because it is so close to airport it is convenient to get the Skybus into the city if needed. Good bang for you buck. No lifts but team member on duty was happy to carry bags up stairs if required.

Cons:

Toilet/shower room is very compact.

Pros:

Chose because near the airport.

Cons:

When I got back early in the morning (3.30am) the ket I had been given did not work and I needed to walk down to reception and call for assistance. Assistance was prompt, but why was my key changed? Not what I wanted at that time of the morning...
