- Ron (8/5): Betrouwbare formule voor een overnachting vlak bij de Internationale luchthaven van Sydney. - Goed hotel om vlak bij de luchthaven te overnachten, prima prijs/kwaliteit. Nette kamer met goede bedden. Er is een bar/ café waar je wat kan drinken en een klein hapje kan eten. Het ontbijt is eenvoudig maar goed en start vanaf 6:30, wat handig is als je een vroege vlucht hebt. Shuttle naar de luchthaven is beschikbaar en in ongeveer 20 minuten ben je bij de Internationale Terminal. Ik miste wel twee grote handdoeken voor het douchen, er waren alleen twee kleine handdoekjes op de kamer.

- Wendy (8/5): We will be back again for the comfortable beds - Very comfortable, very clean and staff were always there to help you when needed. The buffet breakfast that is included in your stay is a bit how you going. Not much to select.
