Very quick check-in. Helpful staff. Clean room. Great breakfast. Shuttle service was efficient. I am not sure that it would have been possible, but it would be nice if the shuttle drop-off point was closer to where we entered the airport and checked in.

This hotel is handy for the airport and there is a shuttle to the airport for a small charge. The staff were friendly but we were only there to sleep before an early flight, so didn’t use the bar/restaurant. The room was an okay size, but the curtain didn’t cover the window properly so light got in. The sofa bed for my daughter was sloping which wasn’t ideal. For an airport hotel, there was no decent soundproofing, so you could hear the flights late at night.
