It was in a perfect location for us to fly in from country NSW, $30 cab fare between airport & motel, walk to and from a concert at the Factory Theatre, then fly home in the morning. A quick trip but everything was well up to standard and we'll definitely stay again.

Extremely deceptive from the outside. The service, the food and the accommodation couldn’t fault. My husband loved the plane’s flying over our balcony. They stop at 11pm so no impingement on sleep. Will stay again.
