We liked this hotel, I wish that face cloths ( wash cloths) were provided. It’s a shame to use big hand towels just for a small wash up.

All good. After exiting bag-claim, it was easy to get to the bus to the hotel. The bus is clearly marked and runs every 15 minutes. Staff is very nice and attentive.

Little outdated property but that’s the only problem. Rest all good. convenient location and pleasant staff. Good breakfast. The lady who was making omelettes noticed that I was struggling with vegetarian options and made special food for me. This personal touch was amazing.

On the pulse side, easy straightforward check-in. They also host a happy hour with complimentary drinks and snacks. The room was quiet and reasonably tidy. The shuttle service to/from the airport is great. On the minus side. Housekeeping service wasn’t great. We were only supplied with one towel. That’s OK and usually easy to fix, but in this instance it took 2 calls to housekeeping and then finally a trip to reception desk to escalate to get the matter addressed Like many other reviews I agree the place looks tired and due for an update. But as a place that usually is targeted single night stays it’s quite fine.
