    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.

    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.
