"The location opposite Terminal 1 was perfect after our late flight. We had a lovely meal in the bar downstairs which was open till late. The room was spacious and clean and very comfortable and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. As long as we are able to get a reasonable price again we will definitely stay here for future travel."

"The property was well maintained both inside and out. It was easy to get to and great location with dining with train and bus stops one block away. The breakfast was plentiful including generous portions and options, with breads and pastries, protein, and fresh fruit and juices. The staff was extremely helpful, always kind and friendly. They even helped us get our room ready for a very early check in before 10 am of our arrival. They always greeted us and made sure that we were welcome. Would gladly stay here again."
