Restaurant needs a major update to the menu. Kitchen staff needs to be more respectful in conversation. Keeping a longer open for breakfast helps travellers coming in on international flights.

The gym facilities are excellent, and the hotel is very clean and tidy as you’d expect with it being brand new. The night I stayed was very cold weather and the heating in my room only seemed to work intermittently and my room was cold all night. The food on offer was ok but the scrambled eggs at breakfast looked terrible. All in all it was ok, but a few improvements required
