Quest Rockingham
Hotel is good but it's in a developing area with rockingham being revitalised. Walls on the suits are thin but very well appointed, including a coffee pod machine and washer and dryer

Dolphin Quay Apartments
Check-in staff friendly and informative. Only one air conditioner to service lounge and bedroom. Clean room, WiFi works well. Only issue is the room next door has the bed backing onto the same wall so you can clearly hear next door talking while trying to get to sleep
