Pleasant staff. Not a great dstance from the airport. I arrived early they held my bags and I walked to the Chermside shopping centre nearby. Would have liked a hot chocolate satchet or a coffee machine but otherwise a nice place to stay.

The unit was clean and modern. The only downside was for a self contained unit it was lacking utensils for cooking and storing. It was hard to cook with no tongs to turn the meat. Also it was missing a dust pan.
