The staff were helpful. The food in the restaurant was REALLY good.
I found an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drain (it was pretty STRONG!). When I mentioned it at the front desk, they didn't seem too concerned. They just said they would send someone to check it.

the breakfast buffet were ok and the staff, while busy, seemed efficient.
I was honestly expecting more from this hotel. the room was basic, and i found some stains on the towels, it was quite off-putting. also, the view from my window faced directly into a parking lot. It was not what i had hoped.

This location is right next to the international departures area. I found various eateries nearby (that's always a plus). The staff assisted with luggage to my room, a very nice service.
The in-room drinks were poorly stocked and that was a minor disappointment.
Location

The hotel has a perfect location for late arrivals and early departures. A short walk takes you to the airport check-in counters, especially useful for early flights. Its proximity greatly simplifies travel logistics.
Dining

The buffet breakfast includes all essential items, very practical. The breakfast items remained fresh even when I arrived around 9:00 am (a testament to quality). The restaurant offers views over the airport.

I was greeted at reception with joy after a long travel day. The staff allowed me to keep my luggage on the airport trolley, wheeling it to my room. A robot delivered my room service dinner, which i found awesome.
