This hotel is in the perfect location. Our flight arrived at midnight and the hotel was located around a 5 minute walk from the airport. There was a small queue when we got there but the self checkout system meant we were able to check in within 5 minutes. Room was nice and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, so much variety and restaurant has views of the runway so was a relaxing way to start your morning.
