Nice modern facility with good room sizes and nice settings. Dinner was a little on the expensive side as i got 2 small pieces of chicken with my main portion.....certainly nothing close to a full breast of chicken.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Conveniently located, quick access to car rental car park and short walk to terminal. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. However, communication was terrible. I emailed Novatel twice with enquiries and received no response. The check in process was quick, but the lady serving us was not very happy or welcoming! When I arrived in the room it said welcome Mr.... , the problem is that I'm a Ms so this was offensive to me!

Perfect for the terminal.

Perfect for the airport, only 150m from the terminal. Breakfast expensive, cheaper option in the airport. Mini bar very well stocked but expensive as you would expect. Small but clean comfortable rooms, good shower.

a nice easy walk from the airport terminal, check-in and out straight forward. I appreciated the security, required to scan room key to get to floor. Didn't appreciate that the access to the door, didn't work on second use, so had to return to reception. On return to room it took several goes to get the door to recognise the key.
