Wonderfully convenient location just outside the airport doors. Receptionist Aaron was warm and welcoming on our arrival and unexpectedly gave our girls some toys. Fantastic to just walk out of the airport, into the hotel room to freshen up, then upstairs for dinner. Wonderful meals. Fantastic wait staff at the restaurant. It was so smooth and professional. Will definitely be recommending.

Conveniently located, quick access to car rental car park and short walk to terminal. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. However, communication was terrible. I emailed Novatel twice with enquiries and received no response. The check in process was quick, but the lady serving us was not very happy or welcoming! When I arrived in the room it said welcome Mr.... , the problem is that I'm a Ms so this was offensive to me!
