We had an early flight Sunday morning, which is why we booked this hotel so close to airport. Noise from other inconsiderate guests, including a huge group of children shouting aa they came up and down in the lift on 3 occasions, and a group of young men sitting in the corridor, talking loudly just outside our room at midnight, made it inpossible to sleep. The staff really need to monitor this..we had to ask the other guests to be quiet. I am sure we are not the only people trying to get some sleep before early flights. We would not recommend this hotel unless management get this behaviour under control. Staff showed little or no concern

Hemos ido en familia para pasar una noche ya que teníamos un evento en la ciudad. El trato ha sido muy bueno con el chico de la recepción y el desayuno estaba bien pero con pocas opciones. La habitación amplia, las camas y almohadas confortables. Sin quejas.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
There was a large water leak in a restaurant attached to the hotel. This resulted in fire alarms going off throughout the hotel and people evacuating their rooms. The alarms could not be turned off until the police arrived, which was approximately 40 minutes later. To add insult to injury, we awoke to no hot water, and then the water being turned off completely at 9 am for repairs which we were told would take several hours. The hotel did not offer any form of credit or compensation when we checked out. Just a “sorry for the inconvenience “. Hotel should have a policy of some form of credit for a bad situation like this. You can’t simply blame the attached restaurant when it affects your business.

Rude shuttle pick-up. Rude check-in service. Restaurant was flooded when we arrived, alarms going off and no one to greet us upon arrival. Eventually all we got was “wait!” While the only 2 staff members were running around with the police. Woman who eventually was checking us in was not understanding we had 2 reservations for the 3 of us, then not understanding which 2 of us were together. No apologies, no thank you for your patience!
