| - Very unimpressed with this hotel. Apart from the lobby area it looks tired and dated. The rooms have seen better days and the air conditioning units are so loud you'll get more peace sleeping at the threshold of the nearby runways. The constant drowning and rattling is difficult to ignore and hear yourself think over, but are necessary as the rooms become like a sauna in the summer heat without it switched on.
There is an indoor pool available to guests, but no hotub. The pool itself is really a large vat of bleach, the overwhelming stench as you walk down the corridor to the pool burns your eyes and is unacceptably unpleasant.
The hotel charges $15 a day for parking, although do offer park-and-fly rates where they say you can leave your car for up to 8days as part of the package. However, what they don't tell you is that just hours after you board their shuttle to the airport, they'll slap a $60 ticket on your car as a nice welcome back present when you return from your trip.
As for the shuttle bus, it's easy enough to utilize from the hotel to the airport, but don't rely on it to get back if you fly into Terminal One. I duly went to the spot advised for pick up, waited over an hour with no show, so made my way over to the Terminal Three pillar. 40 minutes later the shuttle showed up, and again skipped Terminal One to head back to the hotel. I queried this with the driver who just ignored my question without response, but did point very suggestively to his tip-jar as I disembarked!
