The property is very clean, staff friendly. Beds are not comfortable, sheets coming off the bed. The hotel is noisy due to lack of insulation I suppose, contributing to a poor night sleep before my flight. The shower walls are made of glass which is really weird if you are not rooming with someone you’re very comfortable with. The door of the bathroom is the same as the door for the shower so you either get the floor all wet bc you don’t want to leave the bathroom door open or you close the shower door and the bathroom is wide open. Very weird. The food in the restaurant was surprisingly good.

The staff were helpful and attentive. Our bed seemed like it would be comfortable but we both woke with extreme backaches. I knew there would be limited dining at the hotel but didn’t know options in the surrounding area would so limited. Thank goodness for Patchett’s Pies across the street. The room was very clean and a good size for an overnight stay .

Not my first choice

The area around the hotel has extremely limited parking and access for drop offs. You must access the reception area by elevator, which is very slow. No one at the reception area at 4am departure. Shuttle service was adequate.

Everything was above average, but I found the dining options costly and poor quality. If you like everything deep fried this is the perfect place but if your looking for healthy options go elsewhere.

Had a quick over night stay. We arrived late in the evening from an international flight and had an internal flight the next morning. Check in was quick and easy. The room was very clean, quiet, modern and functional. Breakfast was brilliant too. Lots to choose from, and plenty. Well worth it. Shuttle bus was easy and efficient Would recommend.
