"Great easy place to crash for a night after a late flight. I got in at 2am and check-in was seamless. I had a central room (no windows) which felt a bit like a cabin on a ferry. But it was comfortable, quiet, dark and so perfect for purpose. The bathroom is a wet head design which I’m not a fan of as everything in there gets soaked when you shower. I advise leaving showering until last."
