Getting to your terminal

A stay only makes sense for some terminals. Here is what the journey takes from the hotel to check-in at each one.

Our view

Who it suits: Travellers who want a proper mid-range hotel near the terminals for less than PARKROYAL.
Why we would choose it: A short distance from the terminals, with a shuttle at any hour if you do not want the walk.
The compromise: Rooms are described as slightly dated but functional, and there is no pool.
Worth paying more?: Over the budget hotels, only if you want the restaurant and the 24-hour shuttle.

The practical details that matter for one night before or after a flight.

Facilities: Restaurant, 24-hour room service, a small 24-hour gym and coin laundry. No pool.
Parking: Park, Stay & Go package: one night's room plus 4, 8 or 15 nights of secure on-site parking, from $15 a day. Extra nights $28 if pre-booked, $40 walk-in. The only hotel in the precinct with its own ground-floor car park.
