Rydges Wellington Airport
Clean and convenient.. don’t have to leave the airport. Restaurant on site but did not use it… food also available at the airport, but only mediocre. But for an airport overnight stay it works well..

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Clean room and comfortable beds, great check in. Staff great when we locked our key in our room! Unfortunately was very noisy, the room next to us had doors opening and closing all night and there were big rubbish trucks beeping all night.
