Our room was small but clean and the beds were comfortable with nice linens. The self serve hot breakfast was good with lots of variety. It was just great after long flights to have a stay so close to the airport. Parking was secure behind a locked gate with a security guard.
The staff were ambivalent to the guests.
Really helpful staff, I had to book last minute (after midnight in fact) due to a my flight being turned back. The staff booked me in without issue in a stressful situation where I had made an error when booking. The room was basic but comfortable enough, breakfast was nice and the location was just outside the airport so was easy to return the next day when my flight was rebooked for.
Convenient location for an early morning flight or when arriving on a late flight. Well maintained property and very good value for money.
Even though the hotel is close to the terminal, one unfortunately still needs to make use of public transport to shuttle between them.
I was placed in a room next to the stairs, and I would hear every step, and noise of the other guests. Since I was only staying there for a few hours - and they told me they are full, I did not ask them anymore to transfer me to other room. Maybe for future guests please avoid the room next to the stairs.
But yes, staff are helpful, rooms are decently clean.
The hotel is just next to a convenience store, so very convenient for you to grab snacks or food before going to the airport. Hotel is secured are well, as they have gates and non - guest could not just enter easily.
We enjoyed staying over, as our flight was very early the next day. I was impressed with the room, as everything was clean. Thank you, and next time we will stay over again!
I only needed somewhere to lay my head overnight! As such the Road Lodge met all my expectations. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Although the menu was fairly basic, it was more than enough for my needs - delicious toasted sandwich 😀

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Convenient location. Clean room. The staff was friendly and efficient. Reasonably priced. Only problem was no shuttle service! I have to pay $450 ( both ways) to the transportation company for the mere 7 mins ride. It’s not really safe walking down there at night.
It does what it says on the tin and is a good stop over after a long travel day.
Road lodges need to source better beds and find some way of soundproofing their rooms.
It might also be worth reminding people staying over that they are not the only people in the hotel and inside voices should maybe be used.
It’d be great if they had their own shuttle service as it isn’t safe to walk to from the airport once it’s dark.
