The airport is a short stroll away. This was a real advantage before sitting on a plane for hours. The rooms have spacious views and are quiet. A reasonable selection of meals at the restaurant is also important since nowhere else is within walking distance.

The hotel has a free shuttle service. I appreciated it ran to and from the airport. The room service was quick I thought. The meal was good also.

My room was very small and dated. The bathroom too was small. A shower in the bathtub isn't very luxurious.

the staff drove something i forgot straight to the airport on the shuttle bus, which i thought was amazing! dinner was pretty good value and the free breakfast exceeded what i was expecting. the room was also nice and neat.

There was a need to reserve a table and reception did not mention it at check-in. they told us we needed to book, so we did for 8pm. We waited until a table was open! when we went up at 7:55pm for our reservation, parties without reservations got in before us. the servers were very rude too.
