"Slightly expensive for what it is - an airport hotel. Room was clean. Unable to adjust the temperature, freezing cold all night. The front desk staff were helpful while still managing to convey the impression that I was an inconvenience. There was no discussion about how late the bar was open, if the kitchen was open or what time breakfast started. And yet they charged my phone for me. This was a last minute booking just to get some sleep between flights on a long layover. It was fine for that."

"Centrally located so it's easy to get around. Plan ahead in am to the airport. Lots of traffic."
