the location proved convenient with access to public transport from the airport terminals. there were free shuttles to the terminals from the hotel. a supermarket was very close to the hotel, also food outlets was near.

the room i booked was not what i received. i requested a king room with an airport view, i was given a twin room with an internal view. there were limited plugs near the bed. an early flight meant i missed breakfast and no takeaway option was available.
