spacious accommodation nice breakfast helpful staff blocked toilet hotel parking out of order machine

The Superior Room with 1 queen size bed I had was spacious. The accommodation allowed me to stretch out after my long journey. Breakfast was very nice, and I found a good range of food. Staff were helpful both upon arrival and when I left.

Our toilet blocked after flushing toilet paper. I did not expect that in such a new hotel. We were not told to validate our parking ticket at reception to exit the car park. The payment machines were out of order, and there were no instructions

missing towels inoperative phone line

The gym was a bit of a letdown. I noticed there weren't any towels available. I found that odd. the phone line to reception didn't work from the room. I wanted to place a room service order, but I had to use an online workaround. It was inconvenient!

the hotel provides a shuttle bus. this is a great benefit for quick transport to the terminals. the restaurant staff members were very attentive. the comfort and convenience equaled more expensive options nearby.

it forced a potentially dangerous path through bus and taxi lanes.
