Very basic and dingy. Loud due to airport being so close but that’s what I wanted. Nice staff. It took me a good 5 minutes to get back in my room after going to the toilet due to the door being stuck. There was a security light outside that kept turning on in the middle of the night and lighting up the whole room as there were no curtains on the top windows.

Affordable, good location, good amenities, friendly and helpful staff. Room was a little warm, fan and planes were a bit noisy, but I can sleep through anything. For the good value, you have to compromise on something.

We stayed here for one short night due to catching an early flight at the airport. It was loud with young travelers shutting doors loudly all night and lights were on in the hallways and shining into the rooms all night. There is no air-con and it was hot and stuffy even with the fan. The twin room is very small. It is only convenient to the airport. Long walks to restaurants and other Coolangatta attractions.
