It's a basic hotel a very short walk to the airport. The rooms are clean and the staff was friendly. The area around the hotel is a bit run down but it's a 5 min walk from T1 (follow the signs). The best thing about it is it's much cheaper than other choices near the airport.

A bit hard to get to unless you know the walkways. I jumped a few freeway barriers and walked a few embankments to get there. Also confusion between IBIS Style verus IBIS Budget (which I was directed to first)

It is a budget stay, so should expect a stay that is decent, but not great. Shower air vent was full of what appeared to be mold and bacteria growth. Electric outlets are nowhere near the bed, you can hear people in others rooms/hallway. No elevator, and it appeared a homeless man was just sat in the lobby when I arrived. Location wise it's not a far walk from the airport and it is a protected walk with 2 street crossings and posted signage. Overall, it's is a budget stay next to the airport for for those with long layovers. I wouldn't expect much from here as it doesn't not advertise itself as anything beyond s place to sleep with a breakfast.

Hotel very appropriate for brief overnight stay Check in 11.30pm -check out 5 am. Reception attendant helpful. Room was clean and very acceptable in all respects. Signage to Hotel clear given late night arrival. Check in extended to 2 am very reassuring given late arrival of my flight. Towels on floor in reception area due to wet spots were a little off putting.

Property ok for a sleep before a flight. No lifts and staff can’t help carry bags upstairs. Not good for elderly or unfit people. No bathroom as such. Toilet and shower in cubicle in corner of room and basin in the actual room. It’s ok for the $. Couldn’t get any Uber eats to deliver to the hotel.

Very poor example of an airport hotel - much more like a hostel. In fact, we have stayed in much better hostel. We have been travelling through Asia and Australasia for the past month and this is the worst accommodation by far!!
