Hard to fault!
This hotel is excellent and the staff cannot do enough for you. Super close to the airport and a quick easy transfer to and from the airport terminals is all included in the stay. Also enjoyed a complimentary drink at the bar.

Good Solid Hotel
Rooms are more modern and updated, no issues with heat and the beds are comfortable. Staff are more than happy to help in any way they can. Breakfast was good but way overpriced ($38 per person).

Great location for arriving and departing flights
Great location to supermarket and restaurants. Short 10 min walk to airport. Disappointed in restaurant for breakfast. Only served full breakfast at $38. Did not offer continental only. Hence the restaurant at 9am only had 4 people there. Not everyone eats a full breakfast. I ate at a cafe close for continental.
