The fact of having to go next door to the reception and to have dinner in the restaurant was not appealing especially as a single woman walking there alone at night, I made sure I was back in my room before dark. The air con was fantastic in the room as too were the clean sheets n bedding. Outdated furniture and cracked tiles in the bathroom needs attention, the bed of springs was not comfortable at all. But the shuttle service to and from the airport was why I choose this place.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was what you expected, I hoped for a little more in the room, but was just a place to sleep for a few hours until I woke up to go to the airport. Staff were friendly, shared kitchen and bathroom was run down, and my curtain/window from my room opened to a view of them both, not outside. Did have one fella stick his arm through at one point when walking the hallway, which wasn’t amazing but no big deal to just close it. Airport shuttle was the best thing, ran regularly and 24 hours, made the trip to the place and then back to the airport early hours of the morning stress free.

After a long haul journey and arriving from overseas at 2am, we were grateful for the free airport shuttle bus and 24 hour check in at Airport Gateway Hotel. The staff were very kind and accommodating and we were able to arrange for a late check out, the night before, due to our jet lag.They kindly gave us extra coffee and milk, upon request. It was nice to be able to get filtered, chilled or bottled water at reception from the dispenser and reception. We enjoyed our stay and will come back.
