Close enough to the airport to be able to walk to the hotel, even with luggage. We just stayed one night to break our journey from San Francisco to Sydney, then Perth, and we're very glad we did. There's not much to see around the area near the airport, or even in the city, but we spent the morning in town and at a nearby beach and restaurant, and the afternoon in the hotel pool. Not a bad way to end a busy holiday around the world.
