Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was a good place to stay and very close to the airport for a 1.30am flight. They are currently undergoing renovations so it was a bit tricky to get around and work out parking, however our overall experience was very good. I would stay there again.
The property was great. I wished they're had been room service but it was nice to go to Cossies for breakfast.

Liked: Room comfort
Old room - great breakfast and pool
The hotel is located right by the airport, just a short walk. It’s great for a single night before or after a flight.
The room was dark, boring and needed an update. It wasn’t clean enough and the interior was old.
The pool was great, big and beautiful.
The breakfast buffet was great, and had a lot to choose from.
Excellent location. Super friendly customer sevice and flexible with check out times and storage of lugggae.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was a bit tired but very spacious. Staff are great. The reception is at the Novotel not the Mercure which is not advertised and did cause some confusion for us and others.
