On the Airport doorstep.
The Hotel is on the doorstep of the airport so is great if you have an early flight. Check-in was friendly but lengthy for an airport hotel. The guys slouching over the Xray at entrance need to be help with bags - their attitude was lazy and unwelcoming and let the entire team down. Rooms were good and clean. Avoid Room 104 (I changed) as its above the extractor vent and had a continuous droning sound that may disturb you too. Not a problem to change rooms.

The front desk lady’s name beginning with R was very courteous and helpful. All Staff I interacted with was friendly. The dinner was extremely tasty. The rooms were clean (no bugs) and operational. The electric went out twice for one minute in the morning but overall it was a great stay. Super close to airport no more than 5 minutes.

Beautiful Hotel Right At Airport
Beautiful clean and modern hotel. Right at the airport. Staff very kind and work hard. Food was delicious but some of the servers could use a little more training but they were very pleasant. Downside is they only provide 1 key card this can be an inconvenience if you’re traveling with someone who remains in the room. The key card controls the power for the room and you need it to operate the elevator. Therefore, you have to keep asking front desk to swipe their key card. Otherwise, hotel is perfect.
