Booked on the day check in was easy but parking was expensive and they oversold it. We went to the NRL match at CBUS had a park before we left and none when we returned. They created one outside but that means we paid $25 for secure undercover parking and ended up unsecured and outdoor so could’ve just parked on the street for free. Other than that all good.
