The hotel offers good value for money with basic but adequate rooms containing essential amenities like tea and coffee facilities and comfortable beds. However, the room size may be cramped for more than two guests.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quiet, clean, and comfortable, but very small with a tiny bathroom. However, I had to lug two heavy bags up two flights of stairs which was a hassle. The service was a bit of a hit and miss; while they were very careful to accommodate my request for a ground floor room due to my inability to climb stairs, there was some evident frustration when I confirmed having heavy luggage. The staff, on the whole, were extremely helpful and obliging throughout my stay. The location was fantastic, being very close to the Terminal and convenient for a layover nap or a quick trip to Melbourne. On the downside, the dining options didn't impress me much, and the breakfast didn't look appealing. However, the price was reasonable, and the hotel had a good value for a short stay near the airport.
