9/10 Wonderful! (2,187 reviews)

I stayed at this property for one night as I had an early flight the next morning. Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly member of staff who managed to check me and attend to my precheck in request. The room its self was very spacious with a very comfortable bed, great view over the airport to watch planes if you like that and a fantastic free breakfast. The female member of staff cleaning in the breakfast room (I can’t remember your name sorry) was very friendly and a pleasure to talk with.
