“"Quietest hotel ever..".”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

An overnight stop at this hotel made for an easy departure the next day - check in was very quick and efficient (this could be a general description of the whole hotel), with plenty of staff on hand.

The room was roomy (strange not to have a phone by the bed - apparently it's more important to have it at the work desk?) and the best part was the QUIET - with the M1 motorway next door and the train service outside the door, not to mention the airport a few hundred yards away, the noise level inside the hotel was zero!

The restaurant, surprisingly, is fairly cafe style, though overpriced. For the money asked, I would have liked a tablecloth and a better selection of wine. It's expensive but what's the alternative?

The Duty Free Outlet shops behind the hotel make for a nice time-filler, and the airport shuttle bus (at $5 per person) is efficient and well run. A good hotel, perfect for an airport stopover or in preparation for an early flight.

A request for extra pillows was met promptly, as was the request for a wakeup call.

“Overnight transit accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We stayed here prior to our night at Tangalooma and wanted somewhere central where we could return our hire car to the airport and head off to catch the ferry the next day.

This place was the best choice, there is a free shuttle service from the airport, a Woolworths is close by so you can buy any last minute things you need or to get a snack. The room was perfect and the service was great at the hotel from check in to check out.
