Excellent, clean with convenient parking and access to the airport
Food is very good
Breakfast buffet outstanding!!
Rooms very well equipped .. loved the shower and bathroom …
Great place to stay
So convenient to stay prior to an early flight. Rooms nice, well appointed. One small gripe is some room ammenities such as body lotion, make up remover wipes etc would have been useful. Shower essentials were supplied. Overall a great stay.
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.
