Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
Checked in and the room was 24°c which was terrible. Adjusted the r thermostat and went to dinner. 90 minutes later the room hadn’t changed temp. I called the desk she asked some questions then said call back in five minutes if it’s not working, I told explained it had not moved in 90 minutes but she basically hung up on me. 12 hours later it had dropped to 22°c. If you like a cool room that the AC works this isn’t the place. The proximity to the terminal is the only reason it was booked

As with most people I am sure, this was a convenient stay before catching a flight. Room was clean and comfortable. Dinner was ok, nothing special and a good breakfast. We asked for some poached eggs as the scrambled eggs looked like they had been there a while!

Good location - strange bathroom set up.

Stay was good in terms of location, the room was nice but the bathroom was a bit odd as it was not a separate room.

As always a great place to stay and right next to the airport. Easy check in, well fitted, spacious and comfortable rooms with a decent work area; breakfast was as good as the rest of the hotel - more than sufficient.
