Stayed less than a day for a short layover. Perfectly adequate for an airport hotel with plenty of facilities and amenities. They provide free airport shuttles as well, just need to talk to the front desk in advance.

Ilka, Robin Falls

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very convenient to the airport when arriving late and much appreciated the shuttle bus. Clean and quiet, excellent and friendly service by the staff. Pleased to see bulk bathroom products in the bathroom rather than small individual plastic items, much better for the environment. My only negative comment is about the extremely fat pillows which were very uncomfortable to sleep on. With three pillows in the room, I would have liked to see a thinner pillow amongst them as an alternative option.
