the room was quite spacious. the bed was lovely and comfortable. the bathroom had a good stock of supplies (i thought this was a nice touch).
i had to pay for parking (even with the room fee). the tv required assistance to operate, as the channels were not working properly. there was no tea in my room.

convenient airport stay

shuttle servicecomfortable bedslimited ventilation
the shuttle service operated frequently. the room was clean and spacious. the beds were quite comfortable. bottled water and some candies were a nice touch after a long journey.
The room's ventilation was limited. It relied on a small window section and this setup wasn't adequate for a family room.

the shuttle service was really convenient and easy to book (perfect for early flights!). the staff was super helpful and even got me bandages when i needed them. i appreciated the great breakfast and the rooftop bar, especially since i could watch planes. the room had tea, coffee, bottled water, and even chocolates, a nice touch.
I wish the parking fee wasn't extra. I think it should be included.
