Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

The breakfast was fine.
The customer service was not great. The staff did not seem overly friendly. I did not get the room I paid for. The prices were similar when compared but I would still prefer to get what I pay for.

Decent Stay Near the Airport

friendly staffearly breakfastthin wallscorridor noise
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered a good variety of items for me. I appreciated the early breakfast hours since I had an early flight. Access to the bus was also very easy.
I noticed the walls were very thin. I could hear everything from the next room and noise from the corridor throughout the night. This made it difficult for me to sleep well before my flight.

i found the location convenient, i must say. the breakfast was great also. the regular shuttle service to the airport was very helpful.
the website had not been updated since last september. the directions it gave sent me the wrong way and i had to walk 30 mins with a heavy bag. the room was very basic and i think it was not worth the money i paid. the room was freezing and didn't get warm until the morning.

The staff was lovely and did their best to do a few extras for us when we arrived late to breakfast. The rooms are clean. The shuttle bus was really handy.
The room heater didn't allow for a consistent room temperature, it swung from very cold to very hot. The menu had limited options when I wanted to have dinner at the hotel. Only soup, toasties and pizzas were available.
