It is a budget stay, so should expect a stay that is decent, but not great. Shower air vent was full of what appeared to be mold and bacteria growth. Electric outlets are nowhere near the bed, you can hear people in others rooms/hallway. No elevator, and it appeared a homeless man was just sat in the lobby when I arrived. Location wise it's not a far walk from the airport and it is a protected walk with 2 street crossings and posted signage. Overall, it's is a budget stay next to the airport for for those with long layovers. I wouldn't expect much from here as it doesn't not advertise itself as anything beyond s place to sleep with a breakfast.

Hotel very appropriate for brief overnight stay Check in 11.30pm -check out 5 am. Reception attendant helpful. Room was clean and very acceptable in all respects. Signage to Hotel clear given late night arrival. Check in extended to 2 am very reassuring given late arrival of my flight. Towels on floor in reception area due to wet spots were a little off putting.

Property ok for a sleep before a flight. No lifts and staff can’t help carry bags upstairs. Not good for elderly or unfit people. No bathroom as such. Toilet and shower in cubicle in corner of room and basin in the actual room. It’s ok for the $. Couldn’t get any Uber eats to deliver to the hotel.

Very poor example of an airport hotel - much more like a hostel. In fact, we have stayed in much better hostel. We have been travelling through Asia and Australasia for the past month and this is the worst accommodation by far!!

We stayed on ground floor. Noise insulation is insufficient. We heard every movement from the room above us. About 4:30am, the industrial waste was serviced outside our window. We walked to the hotel in the dark. Sign postage [directions] were inadequate. And it would not be good if you were driving either, as the sign at the bridge, just before arriving at the hotel, says "No Unauthorised Entry", and there is no indication that you are about to see the Hotel [behind the bridge], so you might likely turn back. It would be ok for us nexttime, because we know which way to go, but I would only go back, if I was guaranteed a top floor room.

It's a box with a camper toilet and ahower in it. Matress is bigger than the bed, and you have to walk sideways past the bed, room is so tiny. No pedestrian access to the terminals from the hotel.
