Thoroughly enjoyed my stay for the night
Pros:

I loved the bathroom. The shower was amazing. I liked how cosy the room felt. I appreciated the minimal noise I heard, especially being above a bar and pokies etc. I enjoyed the complimentary snacks, very yummy. The bed was comfortable

Cons:

Personally I didn’t like the light that came in through the window (very minimal) but otherwise faults with the room itself

Resturaunt staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful, she needs to I believe brush up in her customer services skills, probably ASAP.

Pros:

This is a really good hotel and great value for money, it is right next to a bus stop and a 20/25 min walk to the train and metro station. Room was lovely and clean, very happy

Good for a short stay
Pros:

Room was surprisingly quiet for being located above a pub. Bed was comfortable. Checking in was easy, although it was a little unclear exactly where reception was. Turns out it doubles as the bottle shop counter. Good location for getting onto motorways etc.

Cons:

The bathroom was very ill-designed. The toilet was in a very tight space between the wall and shower, which made it a struggle to use for someone with large legs like myself. A bit more storage space would've been nice for bags, we had to put our luggage on the floor. We wanted some breakfast after checking out at 10am but there was not a soul around in the pub/cafe area. Wasn't sure if it was open or not. There were no signs saying 'closed' or 'breakfast available'.

空港近くリーズナブル！
Pros:

とにかく空港に近いのにリーズナブルなところ！
夕方着いて疲れてたので、下の階のレストランへ味も美味しくボリュミーで満足でした。

Cons:

道路に近いのと、空港が近い為音は気になる。だけど、お値段と室内はとても満足できると思う！
