- Who it suits
- Budget-conscious Jetstar and Virgin Australia travellers who still want a newer room.
- Why we would choose it
- The same short walk to Terminals 3 and 4 as Novotel, for less.
- The compromise
- No access to Terminal 2 route we can confirm, and the shared facilities may be busy.
- Worth paying more?
- Over ibis Budget, only if you want the pool and a newer room.
