Located opposite the domestic terminal, adjacent to the Ibis hotel, the upper floor rooms offer great views. We checked in around 1:30 (the Budget rental car guy kindly drove us from the drop off at international), no queues and straight to our two rooms on the ninth and tenth floors. These are the club rooms, but are the same size as the standard rooms. Bed sitting room, floor to ceiling window. Queen sized bed, very comfortable. Small sofa, coffee table. Table and chair. Opaque glass surrounds in the bathroom (shower only, separate WC), and a panel that slide open to the bedroom. Tea and coffee making, iron and ironing board, safety deposit, towelling robes and slippers.
The club lounge is on the tenth (top) floor, but was not manned. You could get soft drinks and biscuits there, but the inclusive drinks and breakfast were served in the crowded bar/ restaurant on the ground floor. The drinks came with a small antipasto platter.
Staff were very helpful, prompt and polite. We had an early morning international flight the following day - there are three ways to get to the international terminal (you can’t walk). Free bus shuttle (set times and they pick up also at Ibis, Novotel and domestic). Train from domestic to international (A$5 per person one way). Or taxi (maxi taxi for 3 was A$28 as we had a wheelchair).
