"Clean, quiet and stylish hotel. Excellent room, bathroom and shower. Some comfortable seating areas in lobby. Quick shuttle bus trip from terminal. Ideal for overnight stay before flight and good value. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Some minor gripes. The dinner menu is a cliche - pizza or burger, so I brought my own packed food. The deli shelves by reception were almost empty so don’t rely on this for evening food. I didn’t book breakfast due to early departure but from previous experience it is very satisfactory."

"The hotel was amazingly clean, and the breakfast was excellent. Facilities are a little bit dated and not too much to write home about. I could not believe the spread they put out in the morning. Dozens of different cheeses, salmon anything you could think of. I would say they were understaffed when we arrived. They put us in a room that had not yet been cleaned. But they quickly rectified that and we had a good stay."
