Booked two rooms , took a while at reception to find the second room I booked. Rooms were dated and looking tired. Bathroom not clean, make up on back of door. Paint coming off walls . Carpets with stains . Shuttle bus is 4.00 each way. Breakfast supplies went down quick as everyone grabs items to take way before shuttle bus leaves at 4am. Prefer the Hilton next to airport.

Didn't like the treatment when we had dinner. Didn't like the tone of one member of the staff and having to order from the bar every single dish or drink and rushed to pay immediately like we we're some sort of criminals trying to steal a meal. Definitely very disappointed. Never happened to us before in any other hotel.
