Breakfast is not very good, limited selections and low quality food. Also they had a false fire alarm go off at 7am which woke us up very unpleasantly.

Great shuttle. Our flight was very delayed and the driver communicated with us the entire time and made sure we were picked up as soon as we were out of the terminal. Nice staff, nice room.
