I got no sleep at all, which completely destroyed the purpose of paying more for an airport hotel. The hotel is a wonderful and modern, but my room had a loud an air conditioner that is impossible to control from the room. The room does have a control panel, but pushing Off wouldn't shut off the AC and there is no way to indicate preferred fan speed. The pamphlet said that the settings are controlled centrally, and it the in-room control panels just indicate preferences. It was an awful night in a lovely place.

Great Staying Experience

It is a great stay before boarding plane at the airport beside the next morning. The room is clean and very comfortable, it also let us early check-in. Service is good too. The restaurant is having a great view of the runway, remember to make reservation before going. The only shortcoming is not including parking and also too small area for reception with only one staff, leading to unexpected longer check in process. Overall, it is a great experience.
