Love the shuttle service to the airport. Mum was nit able to use the shower over the bath and would have had difficulty getting to second level. Thankfully able to change rooms. Restaurant had lively food however the poor staff member was very busy.

Very friendly staff. Being picked up at the airport at 2am was very useful and seamless. Just a phone call away. The rool is very spacious with a living room, a mini kitchen well furnished and the bathroom is clean and well supplied. Very good value for the price.
