super convenient airport stay!

airport accessibilityfriendly staffgreat valueincluded breakfast
i found the accessibility to the airport so easy! the staff were friendly and super cute, even at a late hour. the value for money was really excellent, and the breakfast included was a total lifesaver. i really enjoyed the whole experience.
The selection of gluten-free options was somewhat limited. A wider variety would definitely be beneficial, especially for people with dietary needs.

Acceptable stay, but some issues noted

gluten free optionsshower drainpeeling wallpaper
The buffet breakfast had some gluten free options that worked fine.
The shower drain was blocked! causing water to spread all over the bathroom floor. There were visible stains on the walls, linen, and towels. the wallpaper was peeling in places. The receptionist didn't seem to care, repeating 'ok, ok, ok,' when I tried to discuss these problems.
