The reception staff were attentive and professional! they were also very efficient. the rooms were a very good size and well equipped. I had a superior room double single bed. the room was quiet, a big plus given how close we were to the airport.
the plates at breakfast were cold, so the food cooled down quickly.

Excellent Airport Hotel!
clean room efficient check
the hotel room was clean and quite spacious. the breakfast had a good variety and started early at 6am, perfect for early flights. i found the walk to the airport grounds very short. quick check in was efficient.
The bar staff could have been more attentive to the tables. It was table service only, but only one person was taking orders when it got busy on saturday night.
