Convenient and Comfortable Airport Transit

the location inside the transit terminal was a lifesaver. i had easy access to restaurants and shops just downstairs. i found my room to be very quiet and cozy.

i noticed the price was a bit high, considering it was just for a short transit stay.

The hotel is inside the transit area. I found the signage clear and easy (a big plus after a long flight!). My room was ready, and the check-in process was quick. I appreciated the blackout curtains. They are great for daytime sleep.

The corridor noise was slightly noticeable, a very minor inconvenience.
