The service was second to none including the amazing shuttle bus service to and from the airport after dropping rental car the day b4 flight and to the airport at 330am b4 the flight. Maria in reception could not have been more obliging and delightful. I did find the bed and pillows very difficult to sleep on and the white blanket had stains and human hair on it. Should have been washed. But would definitely stay again and recommend it as a great hotel

Executive suite clean and modern, nice space to be. The heat pump wasn’t working and the shower head was floppy with a really narrow jet, so it would flick up and spray water over the top of the shower cubicle - so it was hard to get and stay warm on a cold night. The room we had was quite noisy during the night, as it backed onto Memorial Ave. Saying that, it was a great price and a lovely, clean, attractive room.

Beautifully appointed room but the noise from the car park had us awake several times through the night as the rooms all open onto the parking area. Being an airport hotel people are coming and going all through the night and have shuttles picking them up from the car park instead of waiting at reception.

There is a problem with the booking system. Hotel advised the rooms I booked wouldn’t accommodate 2 adults and 2 children as I had booked. Luckily they were able to shift us to other rooms
