Convenient and Well-Equipped

efficient arrangementcomfortable bedshelpful staff memberssecure parking
The stay, park, and fly arrangement was efficient. Our group of eight received rooms on the same floor. The room included comfortable beds and a well-equipped bathroom. It even had a hairdryer, tea-making facilities, and a microwave (very handy!). Dinner in the restaurant was tasty, and drinks at the bar were enjoyable. The staff members were professional and helpful. I received clear instructions for the airport transfer and car pick-up. Our car remained secure in the car park. The mini-bus to the airport took only 10/15 minutes.
Breakfast had a low selection of cereal. Cooked breakfast was basic and pastries felt slightly stale. I think, however, this is a minor thing.

The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated their assistance with directions. My room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and I got good sleep (this is crucial for me).
I found the breakfast to be quite expensive. The coffee in my room could have been better. I was also a bit disappointed with the limited choices at breakfast.
