Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was just awesome, large room and despite being outside major arterial routes, you heard absolutely no traffic noise. Bed was comfortable and sleep was great. The only thing to nit-pick was that the TV on the wall wasn't in line with our bed and was in a weird spot, also the shower overflowed into the bathroom (partially my fault for not noticing that the head was pointed at the wall, which ricocheted the water off and propelled it into the corner of the shower, which overflowed into the bathroom as the small rim wasn't high enough to contain 1/2 in of water. Apart from that, everything else was great! There was ample parking and delicious meals available at the restaurant. Would definitely stay again.

I enjoyed the upgraded facilities of this hotel. I felt safe and comfortable in their rooms with air con, queen bed and excellent ensuite bathroom. The staff were very helpful and could not do enough for a luddite like myself. A highlight was the food. The chilli prawn spaghetting was delicious. An overall excellent experience.

Please be aware this "hotel" is actually rooms above a bar / terrace restaurant and above a bottle shop / liquor store. It is also very near the airport and within the exit / arrival flight path so you can hear flights regularly. We stayed in the accomodation. The accomodation itself was great in terms of cleanliness, clearly appeared refurbished had AC and great walk-in shower. Whilst the room quality was pleasant, the location for the rooms is a big issue. The hotel is on the corner of a main road serving the airport and various industrial businesses. Unfortunately, the rooms look out onto the first floor terrace bar / restaurant, and the windows do nothing for noise damping and through the split AC unit. This was really difficult on weekends as the terrace is effectively a loud music night and this went on until 11pm. However, we were pleased that the noise did stop at this point, respecting guests, but I'm not totally convinced this would always be the case, especially in busy months / seasons. We did hear some *adult activities* - the walls really are thin. I don't recommend bringing a family here but for mature adults / travellers it was fairly reasonable on a budget if you need a few nights and a comfortable bed (just bring some earplugs). Southern Cross, maybe invest in some new windows / sound proofing to mitigate the outside sound issue - would make a big difference.

The individual rooms and the bathroom was fairly small but as I was by myself this was easy enough to navigate. All the staff I dealt with were excellent. The actual pub has plenty of options for drinking and dining, including a good sportsbar set up.
