Great Staying Experience

It is a great stay before boarding plane at the airport beside the next morning. The room is clean and very comfortable, it also let us early check-in. Service is good too. The restaurant is having a great view of the runway, remember to make reservation before going. The only shortcoming is not including parking and also too small area for reception with only one staff, leading to unexpected longer check in process. Overall, it is a great experience.

So convenient to stay prior to an early flight. Rooms nice, well appointed. One small gripe is some room ammenities such as body lotion, make up remover wipes etc would have been useful. Shower essentials were supplied. Overall a great stay.

Nice modern facility with good room sizes and nice settings. Dinner was a little on the expensive side as i got 2 small pieces of chicken with my main portion.....certainly nothing close to a full breast of chicken.
