    Location is excellent for the airport. We were welcomed warmly and checked in very quickly. As this is a budget hotel, the rooms are small but there was plenty of room for the two of us and our luggage. The beds were very comfortable and the linen was top quality. The bathroom was serviceable, good shower and practical. The whole room was spotlessly clean. This is the second time we have used this hotel for flying out of NZ in the early morning.

    Fantastic budget hotel with great prices and an awesome location. I loved that they also had complementary parking and self-service laundering. An awesome shared area with free coffee, tea, etc. Right across the road from the shopping centre with restaurants and cafes around the hotel. Staff were wonderfully helpful, which made our stay welcoming.

    This is a budget hotel, it’s simple but clean, tidy and comfortable. For a stay prior to or after a flight you can’t beat it for location and price. Also handy to a couple of nice restaurants and a great bar.

    Location near the airport was great - without airport noise (I was located in a room on the side away from the airport). Staff were really helpful with queries. Most of all, the bed was COMFORTABLE: firm but with enough give on the top layer so you didn't feel like you were sleeping on a plank of wood. This proves that even budget hotels can provide a comfortable night's sleep, which is mainly what you book a hotel for.
